Don't you think that they've already got enough 'restoration projects' there as exhibits, Cees?

I can think of one large 4-engined one..........

I thought they scrapped the Beverley a few years ago........

:wink:

but seriously I think there are more than two - Isn't there a frame in the RNZAF Museum and there's the one that's being rebuilt to fly - is this one another?

interesting, everything aside from the home page for the link:

http://www.classicfighters.co.nz/aircraft/vincent.htm

tells me I might need to download and install " quick time installer from apple computer, inc. " and shows a blank page.

is anyone else having this problem?

Stored on the perimeter of Omaka airfield...'Very Challenged' is a bit of an understatement :shock:
