Kent,

Funny you mention Mr Allen's collection, I was just flicking through the March Flypast and there is a news item about just that thing.

According to the article this is the collection as it stands right now,

CASA 2.111 (He.111) N11105
Curtiss JN4D Jenny 3712 N31712
Curtiss P-40C Warhawk 41-13390 N2689
Douglas AD-4N Skyraider 126924 N2692
Fiesler Fi156C-2 Storch 4362 N436FS
Focke-Wulf Fw190A 0151227 N19027
Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat 79863 N79863
Lockheed P-38L Lightning 44-27231 N79123
Messerschmitt Me.262A 111617 N94503
Mitsubishi A6M3 Zero 3852 N3852
Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero 1303 N1303
Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero 4400 N652Z
North American B-25J Mitchell 44-30254 N41123

Polikarpov I-16 Rata 2421014 N7459
Polikarpov Po-2 Mule 641543 N46GU
Republic F-84G Thunderjet 10586 N6599V
Republic P-47D Thunderbolt 45-49406 N7159Z
Supermarine Spitfire F Mk.Vc AR614 N614VC

This information was compiled for Flypast by Dennis Bergstrom who also frequents this forum.

There is also mention of two other aircraft bound for this collection that are currently in the UK which are a Hurricane Mk.XII and a Messerschmitt Bf.109E both of which are under restoration at the moment.
Anyone any idea which airframes these two may be ??

As to your question about seeing any of them flying in public, who knows ?

John
