Did you notice the seats are still in it? :wink:
I am going to talk to Tony Beres about maybe getting them for a Hot Rod project.


I only saw the 1 seat. Is there more than that? :twisted:

Hell, I would take the whole front fuselage! :twisted:

I think the good folks at the San Diego Air and Space Museum will get her back together. I went through their shop in late April and I was more than impressed with their volunteer crew. They have a great facility with wonderful tools and equipment and the talent to match. Most of the guys were retired Consolidated and Convair aircraft workers and they were going to town on the Corsair and other projects.

How cool to see these guys in action doing what they love.

Cool shots. That A-26, if the serial applied to the fin is correct, is the former Dennis Bradley airplane that used to be based at CWH in GB 1/19 French AF Indochina markings (there was a French-Canadian volunteer on that unit at that period). When Dennis first acquired 44-34313 (C-GHLK), it was in blue-tailed 319BG USAAF markings...interesting to see it has returned to that livery all these years later. It had gone, I think, to an airline pilot in California named David Lane. That would have been circa 1997. I vaguely recall the reg'n being N319BG (which would make sense given the livery applied), but could be wrong about that. Anyone have more recent info on 44-34313? Even with the dramatic renaissance round here recently, we miss the Invader, one cool ship...

S.


That's N119DR, still regd to David Lane.
I went flying with Dave in his beautiful Invader back in 2002. I will ask him what recent status is.

IIRC the nose was one of the parts available.
