P47 sold ?
Thu Feb 09, 2006 12:53 am
So
Anybody got any idea who has aquired the former Doug Arnold P47 recently purchased and shipped to Australia by Tony Raftis - He appears to be a dealer now so I assume it was just sold on like all the other recent aquisitions. Same goes for the two Corsairs and 3 Mustangs from the US Nothing wrong at all in that but it would be nice if it was sold here so we could get to see it - I assume the Arnold Spit 18 has followed the same course as well

Thanks for that
My understanding was the P47 had but if not it reinforces my information and that is that it will operate in the UK - so we will see shortly I should think.

The P47 is in bond store in Melbourne and heading back to the UK. TFC Chief Engineer Pete Rushen did an inspection on the aircraft last week and OK'd the aircraft.

Greedy? Far from it, John. You may like the return trade better than the P47.
