Been looking at a few photos on the photographic forum, SEMAE’s of TD248 and TA805 and am now not at all convinced that wasnt ********.

was TE184 the one that breifly wore an american scheme in the mid 1990s?

Hopefully she’s staying in the UK, will be good to see a familiar serial number back in the sky.

I like the combination of high-back and broad chord rudder myself. guess if its not original…

Personally, glad to see a few of the Hawker family on a lot of lists. For family reasons i must concur with whoever said “Typhoon.”

For family reasons:

Hawker Tempest II
Two Hawker Typhoon (so now I could have one flyer, one static)
RAF Curtiss Tomahawk (nice one Colin! My grandfather flew these on gunnery training (iirc) before joining the squadrons with Typhoons, and had quite a soft spot for them-surprised it got a mention)
Armstrong-Whitworth Whitley
Hawker Hart Trainer

And some for me:

Junkers Ju88
DeHavilland Mosquito
Junkers Ju52
Focke-Wulf Fw190, ideally a 2 seater like the one at Hendon

My personal choices. if we could all have our ten, I’d approach those with Typhoons, and tour europe as a three-ship.

Dont often post on the forums but these “we can dream…” threads I like.

The Buchon would terrify me.

Thats absolutely outrageous!

Surely there are other sites?

Anyone doing anything about it?

I liked the commentator. I thought a French accent was a bit different and cool. I thought he sounded pretty well informed, and the language he used to describe the aircraft was a lot more poetic and listenable to than some airshow commentators.

Respect to the commentator.

I cannot speculate on its accuracy, but doesnt the Revell 1/48 Ju52 have a decal option to represent one of these aircraft?

On this example the reg etc are definitely painted red.

Don’t know if this helps.

I hope this isnt a pointless post, but she is beautiful and I for one am well excited about this aircraft. It is absolutely stunning, and will no doubt be even better looking in post war naval colours with the wings down, and a bit more air beneath them.
