A few restoration updates.....

Just read in the Fana De L'Aviation that Paul Allen just purchased the Focke-Wulf 189 A1 from Jim Pierce :D

Good news and hoping to see some updates on it soon.

Also, the Shearwater Firefly has it's prop on and are expecting flight later on this year Yahooo......Also as reported in the Fana De L'Aviation

That's great news on the Fw189. It's good to know that this project will now been seen to completion to top standards. (Or will it be seen at all? :lol: )

Speaking of disappearing aircraft, do you have any information or status on Paul Allen's Fw190? It's really fallen off the radar when it looked like it was almost complete and ready for paint and testing.

might as well lump in his 109E as well; I thought it was ready for flight testing, bar some engine issues?

Would love to see some recent pics of the 189 and 190 :)
