Hellcat Nose Section @ Duxford...

[Warbirdnerd]

Shamelessly linked from the FlyPast Forum Duxford Diary thread. It sure does not look like TFCs example. Anyone know if the rest of the story? Is the rest of the Hellcat around too?

Too bad , if it were a spare, it would be great to go to p.o.f to start a rebuild of their's.

The museum are being very tight lipped about where the Hellcat nose came from - although I was told it has original Royal Navy paint. The sign however was a spoof designed to wind up those on aviation forums!!

That nose section was already there in July 1995 during my first visit to Duxford



There was a FW190 nose section as well....
