Beaufort A9-141 restoration

Tue Mar 07, 2023 9:18 am

Wondered what the progress was on this Australian Beaufort restoration by Ralph Cusack. There was an article in the July2012 issue of Flypast but I haven’t seen any updates since, unless I failed to notice them.Anyone have any news?, thanks in advance.

Thanks Zac, Mike and Spitty, at least the restoration is still ongoing and it hasn’t stalled. Good to know.
