Quick query--
Anyone know the present status of the second pair of Fairey Firefly airframes recovered ca. 1999 from Eritrea? The first pair (recovered 1995) came to Canada, where one (DK545) is now stored at CAM and the other (PP462) under rebuild to fly at Shearwater. Of the second pair (and a SAAB B17 recovered at the same time) I only recall that one Firefly was an FR.1 and the other a T.1 dual-control variant, and that they went initially to South Africa where one was said to be offered for sale. Serials? status?
