In reply top Any news about the Grünherz FW190.... posted by James D on Fri Jun 21, 2002 12:05:42 PM

Being rebuilt to fly in the U.K.for FHC in Seattle . I heard from a good source at Duxford that it was very close to going there , but Arnold had more of the paper stuff ;-0.
I also was told that even though the skins were in pritty good condition , that they have all been replaced and apparantly thrown away !! Since she is to fly I guess it is more understandable than the G-10 ... but I can't understand the need to throw out the skins which for the most part had original paint on them ... historical vandalism me thinks !
But hey.... this was also done with the Evergreen G-10 even though it proabably won't fly.. not to mention the restorers didn't even bother to sand back the Yugo markings to see if any other schemes were hidden underneath .... about to start swearing so better sign off ...
