I popped into Duxford a few days ago to see what happens to the warbirds out of season. Here's some pics of some of them being readied for the new season...

cheers Lefty. :ernae:

regarding the Beau, the owner has located one, possibly two suitable engines. Other than that, everything that is posted on the internet is just speculation. As far as I know it is still up for sale.
 
Now I know I really should visit that place someday.. I count at least twenty aircraft I have never seen before..

Is that a real FW-190 or a Flugwerk replica btw?
 
Final Round.

After taking these shots, Grumpos stumbled through the murky darkness in search of a steaming hot coffee and a plate of chips. :wavey:

Mmm, you probably live nearer to Duxford than I do, Ferry. Go, but don't expect to be able to photograph everything in one day. I work pretty quickly but even so, did not have nearly enough time to photograph everything.

Its impossible to photograph a lot of the privately owned stuff while its in the hangar as there is too much other stuff in the way. I reckon that I photographed only about a third of the privately owned aircraft. Aircraft missed due to this included a Staggerwing, P-47, B-25, Rapide, many Spits and P-51s. Not too bothered about the P-51s though.:monkies:

I suspect that the Fw-190 is a replica. Its amongst the privately owned stuff, and AFAIK nobody is flying a genuine one at the moment. Looks lovely, whatever its pedigree.
