P-47 info

Posted by Pat Carry on Thu Mar 27, 2003 05:59:20 PM

I just received the 4th edition of the Warbirds Directory and I noticed a few interesting bits of info in the P-47 section. 1. 42-8320 belonging to the P-47 Heritage Commission in Evansville In. burned up in a warehouse fire in Evansville in March 1997! Does anyone remember hearing about such a fire at the time? 2. 42-25068 "Little Demon" has reportedly been sold in Canada and is under restoration in the US as of 2000. The last I heard about this plane was that it was in a crate in North Weald. Anyone have any further info? 3. Discussed here on the WIX before is info about Randy Ferris of Bensenville,Il has acquired the wrecked remains of 41-5895, 41-6064 and 41-5920 all "B" models for a possible rebuild. Interesting!
