A few years ago I had heard the the former McKittrick project with Sanders was sold to Mr. Jacquard.

The delivery is scheduled for may, that sounds very nice. Does anybody know how it will be painted?
I hope, that I will see the maschine on an airshow this year, maybe La Ferte Alais or the german Hahnweide.
The "Bagdad Fury" joined France in September 2007 or 2008? Will it fly on Airshows this year?

don't be oo surprised if mr jacquard brings his sea fury over to duxford in july 09 as he has always brought 2 aircraft with the exception of this year when he sold his corsair. Don't forget he also has a new build fw190a which is awaiting an air test as well this year!!
