Tempest MW763/G-TEMT

After speaking to Jerry Cooper today it is very probable that this aircraft will not fly until very late this year or sometime in '04 as the engine has been with Vintage V12s in the US for three years now and the rebuild is still not complete. He said that he plans to travel to the states soon to see just what progress has been made as the airframe is ready and waiting for the engine. The picture in Flypast a few months back showed the airframe fitted with a static engine for cowl fitting only and not the reconditioned engine as hinted at in the article. So maybe next year's Legends 'surprise' ;-)
