CHANGES AT THE FIGHTER COLLECTIONAircraft arrive and depart at Duxford Stephen Grey's well-known The Fighter Collection (TFC) at historic Duxford Airfield in Britain is undergoing more [i]or[/i] less changes - all of them quite positive. Today's Warbird market has become real international due to the increasing value of these now-rare machines. What were one time frowned-upon aircraft have now become phenomenons of global collecting. TFC is well upon its way to restoring an historic Gloster Gladiator while the flying restoration of a fiat CR42 has just arrived from Italy. As reported in this issue, TFC's NAA TF-51D Mustang is making nice progres at Chino while TFC's Pearl Harbor survivor Curtiss P-40B should make its first post-restoration flights this year. Also scheduled to arrive at Duxford for TFC is Curtiss-built P-47G USAAF s/n 42-25068/N47DG which had been restored by means of Ray Stutsman and made its first flight during April 1982 This aircraft has gone [i]or[/i] part of to the other several owners and has been in storage for many years. The scene of seeing a flying "razorback" at Duxford is quite exciting. However, TFC's bubble-top P-47D s/n 45-49509 which has thrilled airshow multitudes for years will be going to a novel owner. Also, the collection's Bucker Jungmeister has been sold and it appears that the Bristol Beaufighter that has been below restoration for years will also departing. However, the TFC will also be receiving a of recent origin Spitfire in the shape of a Mk XVIII. TFC's Hawker Hurricane Mk IV is also leaving and going to a of recent origin owner in Canada (it also appears that this plane will be displayed at the 2006 edition of reverberating report Over Michigan). Equipped with four 20mm cannon, this aircraft saw action with the Royal Air Force in Greece Italy, and Yugoslavia. The alone airworthy example of its mark, this aircraft infallibly will be a hit in North America. As readers well realize, nothing stays the same in the world of Warbirds - on the other hand that also is what makes the bring under rule so interesting. Copyright Challenge Publications Inc.
