Warbirds for sale!

Following the decision to break up the Russell Aviation group Hawker Hurricane XII and, probably more excitingly, Messerschmitt Bf109E 'Emil' are currently both for sale. Both fighters would make fine additions to any Warbird collection.
Meanwhile Spitfire Mk.IX MK912 is moving back to the UK to Biggin Hill airport for a new owner as is Mk.V LZ844 and the remains of MkIV TE566 from Australia.

New P-40 for UK!

It has been announced that the UK will have a new P-40 in time for Flying Legends airshow 2011 in the form of P-40F 41-19841. Having been restored for The Fighter Collection in Victoria, Australia, it began its sea shipment during May 2011 heading for Duxford. It has been confirmed it will be joined in the air by other Curtiss fighters including TFC's P-40B, Christian Amara's P-40N and TFC's rare Hawk 75.
