Those are all very nice. Any chance you guys could bring a BF-110 back to airworthy status?

I'm sure they could, the question would be who has one to restore?

Sort of related - when Jerry Yagen's Mosquito flew here in NZ I asked him, if he ever got a Stuka, would he consider bringing it here to be restored? "No, I've got a company in Germany who does the German stuff for me"

Another great update Matthias, that Centaurus is stunning! And I like the progress on the 109G-12.

I believe that there is only one available Bf-110C wreck that could be rebuilt to airworthy, one the three that Jim Pearce brought out of Russia. It was listed as in storage with a private owner.

Hey folks,

the shop needs your help. The shop is looking for original oil-radiators for the SeaFury project / Centaurus engine. Any help is highly appreciated. Offers or tips please via email webmaster(at)meiermotors,com or PM

Thank you very much !

[Old SAR pilot]

Might Sanders Aeronautics in Ione, CA have any radiators, inasmuch as they converted theirs to P&Ws?

[JimH]

Try Pacific Oil Cooler in Laverne California, 800-866-7335...ask for "Skid" he (they) do all of Collings' coolers. They can also make custom coolers as well.

There was also a BF-110 in a Scandinavian country, maybe Norway that was restored to static and looked great. It was in private hands. How old is that guy, is he still alive and could it be made available?

[Lynn Allen]

Is this the Sea Fury that was owned by Cavanaugh Flight Museum in Addison, Texas or perhaps another one?

Mostly, although parts of another one were used in the repair.

Roger that...

[Lynn Allen]

Yes, Lynn, it is VX302. Ex-Conch Fury (ex RAN 103, Cottonmouth) race 103, damaged in emergency landing in 2009 due to engine problems. Former owner was Stuart Aviation Inc., Wilmington, Delaware. MeierMotors/MaxAlpha Aviation bought the wreck of Conch Fury in 2011. Fuselage was restored by Sanders Aviation (only fuselage was used from this a/c, wings are off a different one). BTW ex- German towtug, D-CACE, flown out of Lübeck (mainly) over the Baltic Sea towing airsock as aerial target for 20 mm and 35 mm cannons.

Zuccoli Fiat G59 headed their way for rebuild and new spars.

Zuccoli Fiat G59 headed their way for rebuild and new spars.

Did it finally sell?

[Zac Yates]

It sure did:

[Warbird Kid]

So now MM has two of the three flyable Fiat G.59s in there stable?! And they are restoring both?! Pretty neat. But I hope the dual control aspect is retained for rides and pilot orientation.

Are there any other G.59s around to bring back to flying condition?

[Lynn Allen]

It sure did:

Thank you, I just saw that on smackbook as well...

That tweet is from 10 September, so I'm thinking the sale happened earlier that month.

I'm not sure Mr Yagen bought this one as I've read online somewhere today it's for "a German owner".

Keenly awaiting Matthias' next update from the Meier workshops!

[blurrkup]

The new owner is MaxAlpha Aviation.
