This page is very out of date as is much of TFC's restoration section of their website, (ahmmm......errrr.....ahmmm...TFC?) though if you search TFC Beaufighter on the web you will find various updated pages with better pics of the current progress. The nose is still removed at present, I assume to allow for better systems installation access.

Can't wait to see this baby fly. It will be very impressive fast and unique. Not often you see a pair of sleeve valve radials flying fast if at all these days.

If you know of anyone with any Beaufighter parts especially engine and propellor, let them know.

The Chief engineer of TFC (Peter Rushen) often posts on WIX, I'm sure he'd be delighted to give the board an update on the Beau some time.
