Warbird Information Exchange

Would this be the one belonging to Kermit?

So that's the famous Napier Sabre, eh? One of the holy grails of engine building. Not many alive today have ever heard one run.

Hope I can join that club one day.

I see the're still putting the frame together with bolts and rivets like the Hurricane, didn't Hawker ever hear of welding?

Ya gotta remember, the Brits went down such innovative paths as building wooden jets.

Always like to see this project being worked on.



I'd have thought it would be much easier and quicker to repair damage if it was bolted or rivetted.

Yep pretty good eh?

It arrived with a 2nd restored Napier Sabre, I would LOVE to see it in a (Sea) Fury , with no chin intakes, just the ones on the wings leading edges !!
Or even in a S.Fury T.20 !!

Where is this project, and who owns it?

Kermit Weeks,
It was being worked on in England and recently shipped to his place in Florida. As for the other project, I remember a thread about it over on the Flypast forum.
