N1324 is still at Hamilton Airport, but kept in a private hangar.

Anybody know if there are plans to give her a coat of paint? Just curious,

I was very happy to see it take off and do a pass at Reading last weekend.

Tim et al--

N1324 belongs to Sandy Thomson of the Thomson-Gordon Group; it's usually in the Mt.Hope Avitat/Marsh Bros. hangar (which BTW is the south bay of former CWH Hgr#3...yeah, THAT Hgr#3!). Once in a while N1324 is over at CWH. I asked Sandy eons ago about how (and when) he might paint the Fury; he was noncommittal about it, being much more interested in the engineering updates he was putting into it to make it a more practical operating proposition. I did suggest a Royal Navy livery with the RNAS Stretton tailcode...which is ST, not only Sandy's initials but conveniently also mine, allowing me perhaps to get a photo with the Fury and pretend she was mine... :roll:

Cheers

S.
