Paul Allen's ME-109 flies!

[Mike]

I believe the flying ones include:

..........2) The CAF's Hispano

Now on the way to the UK. Rumour has it that the Kindsvoter one may also be following it.

And not to be nosey, but any photo's of Paul's P-47 and F6F? .... I'm not sure if I know of these two as well.

I hope they painted the Thunderbolt. It was still unfinished last July at the Arlington Airshow.

Look what I found!

These are a couple years old.

WOW! WOW! WOW! ... now those two are great!!!! ... why does it seem these aircraft are a little hidden from the mainstream warbird world. I never knew about these two aircraft until now. Does the F6F fly? ... Now my list of P-47 flyers has just added one more. (I count 12 total flyers as of now) can't wait to see what paint scheme this P-47 will be. ... Time for bed now ....

Does the F6F fly?

The label (thanks Spooky) says 'no'.

Many thanks for Bill's pics, more always welcome

Speaking of Thunderbolts, what's the status of the one that was raised out of the Austrian lake?

[Firebird]

This one was restored by Craig Charleston on the Isle of Wight in Great Britain. I don't have the particular Werk number at the moment.

Have a close look at the photo's posted......IIRC this a/c is painted in it's correct period markings and it's Werke No. is painted on the tail.

I don't know there are plans to paint the P-47. It has been restored to factory new condition with all of the markings it would have had rolling off the assembaly line. It actually is a very beautiful restoration, though one has to get up close to really apreciate it.

Photos do it no justice.

The aircraft might recieve a paint job one day, but it will most likely be markings it actually had at one time. I think the plan is to do the B-25 in much the same fasion.

So does that mean that it has the national insignia & anti-glare panel applied, as it would on the assy' line? These don't show in Spooky's pics.

Does the F6F fly?

The label (thanks Spooky) says 'no'.

Depends on where you start reading, the beginning says "flyable" the end says "not airworthy" ... (thanks Spooky)

Glad I could help.

I thought I had heard it would be painted one day but no clue in what scheme.

Slightly off-topic, but I love that tug! We had a simelar one in use at Rotterdam Airport well into the '90ties. I forgot the name of the manufacturer. What was it?

Was the P-47 done by WestPac? Looks like it was rolled out of the factory 10 minutes ago, except nicer.
