Having spoken to one or two guys at OFMC recently the only a/c they are adding to the team are the Lavochkin and Yak which I think has been well documented.
They do borrow a/c from other collections when their a/c are unservicable (which isn't often considering the serious amount of flying they do).
On the subject of razorback P-47's I think that the ex- Lone Star Museum example (in Walther Beckham's Little Demon colours)is still in store at North Weald - surely this would make a fantastic addition to a UK collection (although it may have blown hydraulics)- wouldn't it be great to see it in formation with TFC's P-51C and Sally B.
