Wouldn’t that then mean that East Fortune would have 2 ‘Storch’ derivatives? One with an Argus and one with a radial.
Excalibur (45-11540) N151W is a P-51D
Probably on the way to or from Dunsfold. Clacton was yesterday and today.
Shocking landing by the Stearman pilot though wasn’t it DCW…rumour has it he was charged four landing fees ! :diablo: 😀
TT
from where I was I thought the landing was rather good, didn’t recall the wheels leaving the ground again. 😉
Hmmm really!
Interestingly you may or may not know that the two Mustangs and the Harvard are owned, were completley rebuilt and are operated by the same chap!Excellent pics as usual Mr W
He also owns the wonderful Stearman which had an overhaul when it arrived at Hardwick but has yet to be fully rebuilt.
Just thinking, If it is indeed AE977 could it be their as a swap for the Spitfire Mk.1?
Both are already owned by by the same people
Just back from Tibenham, a few soggy patches on the grass near the memorial , but drying very quickly, everything else there was good. Fantastic sunset tonight.
Which Yak belonged to Rob? I’m afraid I’m a little behind on his activities.
The Yak 11 G-YCII, he’s owned it for 12 years or so.
Not sure whether its grounded now, but it was flying in the UK last year at the Sally B Friends day
Wow I didn’t know threads this old still existed….
David Jenkins GBR, is that like an OBE just with different letters?

Fantastic, many thanks.
I heard a rumour there was an N3N on site poking its nose out of one of the hangars, dont suppose you managed to get a pic of it?
That is one lovely looking T6
HeHe ! Nah! we have enough of those in Norwich (so I am told !) could just be ballast to slow it down to its, aledged, 100mph, cruising speed ??
Keith :diablo:
More likely to be extra oil or fuel so as it didnt end up in the sea….
Yak 11 – converted to Yak 3 with OFMC example??
TFC had G-KYAK as an airworthy Yak 11 in the mid 90’s which is now with Max Alpha Aviation in Germany.
The Yak 11 (G-BTHD) converted into a Yak 3 (now in California) was an Egyptian project imported from France
