Hi All,
Haven't heard anything about these rebuilds recently, anybody have any news on them?

Beaufighter - JL946
Seafire XVII - SX336
Seafire III - PP972
Seafire F.46 - LA546 (Peter Arnold?)
Spitfire V - BL628
Spitfire V - MD338
Spitfire IX - TD314
Tempest II - MW401
Tempest II - MW763
Tempest V - EJ693 (Kermit Weeks)
FW189 - Wk Nr 2100 (Jim Pearce)
Firefly I - DT989 (Sweden?)
P61 - 42-39445

I seem to remember that when the FW189 was "announced" to the world, there were great plans for her, but things seem to have gone quiet, this year.

Next to the B24, the P61 is my favourite American warbird and it would be great to (hopefully) see this 'bird fly again.

I also seem to remember that somebody stated that they had a complete Firefly 'in their back garden', somewhere on the African continent!
Any clues on its identity and status?

As usual, all info gratefully received.

Thanks, Tony
