Iraqi Furys found a few years ago

Any new news on them. Any restorations started? I believe they were all taken to England?
Any of them make it over to the U. S.?

I don't believe that any came to te UK. The source on Wix who claimed to have seen one on a truck heading towards Yeovilton turned out to be a fantasist and a liar. Nothing I've heard since leads me to believe that any came to the UK.

Hey guys,I seem to recall seeing pics on the Flypast forum of most of a T-20 in the U.K. Some had differing views on whether spoils of war should be obtained by military forces or not but I have not heard of it since.Does anyone have pics of the Jurist/Tallichet cache recovered in the early 80's? I work with a gent who went through the collection and picked out the three that came here,he recalls row upon row of fuses,wings,etc & I would love to see any pics that may have been taken at the time,best regards,Pete

There was a shot of it sitting dismantled in an Iraqi warehouse, but I don't recall ever seeing any evidence that it had actually been shipped to the UK. Of course, it may be that it did come to the UK and they're just keeping it hidden to avoid allegations of looting.
