Nice! Who owns the Brewster Corsair now?

[TAdan]

I think the Brewster Corsair belongs to Slattery.

[Pat Carry]

wow, he has quite the collection. Isnt he the owner of a B-23 as well or am I thinking of someone else?

If i m correct he also owns the two birds at Vulture Rows.

[Clifford Bossie]

Is the Tempest an inline, or radial version?

[OZFURYFAN]

Clifford, it was Centaurus powered but I believe it will have a U.S. engine instead, either way it will be awesome when finished. There is another Tempest from the same batch under restoration with Chris Miller but have not seen any updates on that one,cheers,Pete

Jim Slattery, the owner of the Brewster Corsair under restoration to fly at Ezell's, does also own the SBD-4 Dauntless (to fly this year) and SB2C-1A Helldiver under restoration at Vulture's Row, the P-38F (very soon to fly this year) at Westpac, and the B-23 also under restoration to fly. He also already has two Tigercats, an F3F, a TBM, a Skyraider, and a Catalina, that all fly, as well as the non-flying, sole-surviving, A2D-1 Skyshark. Part of his collection is already, and/or will be, on public display at Westpac's "National Museum of World War II Aviation".

Thanks Pete. A Centarus powered Tempest would be nice to see. I did get to see one at Hendon last summer. Displayed right next to their Jug!

Our Seafury still has a Centarus, never converted to an R-3350.

Hi Cliiford, which Fury is based near you??

She is a Fury FB.10, 37703 (N57JB), displayed in the War Eagles Air Museum. I get to see her several times a week.

[OZFURYFAN]

Haha Cliff, that Fury was restored here by the company I worked for, I know it well, have sent you a message:))) Pete
