Clarkkent Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Wow! What good fortune. They will enable the RAF to get back to operational strength following the savage cuts imposed by the governemt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frederick Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Interesting project I hope the farmer pulls it off and gets his wish to see them fly. I read that some guy kept new engines for Dakotas still in crates in a hangar in the USA They had been left there from the war... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoddy Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Brilliant, I hope they get some of them operational soon. I'm a great fan, I even bribed my way into the cockpit of one. I was quite astonished at how cramped it was even for a fairly small woman like me.By chance I was admiring the non-flying one they have at the Potteries Museum last week.Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
