: Cees,
:
: There are quite a few projects going on....
:
: Peter Smith has 3 cockpit sections (complete framework and
: firewall) + the remains of R7708 recovered from Pegwell B

: ition.
:
: Brian Barnes in Coventry has JR505 + at least one engine +
: a second set of rear main spars and a large lock up full
: of parts recovered from Holland.
:
: Shoreham have a cockpit section with rear main spars, but
: no front spars. They have a Tempest V Sabre recovered....
: not too bad condition seeing as it crashed.
:
: IWM....not history on this one. They never replied to my
: letter on this.
:
: One in a museum in Norfolk (not found reference to this ye
: t...could be Tempest V of Ted Sinclair)
:
: Roger Marley....same status as Shoreham but with no engine
: . He has built a rear fuselage to attach aswell as gettin
: g some panels made....along with other genuine ones!!
:
: Andy (can't remember his surname off the top of my head) i
: n wales...same status as Shoreham & Roger.
:
: I also have genuine cockpit section brackets & firewall an
: d various throttle quadrants etc....but no main spars as y
: et...to try to display. If I can get the spars then there
: are various people who will help build wings (easy constr
: uction apparently!!!)....ultimate goal is an airframe but
: that is a long long way off.
:
: + all the remains in Holland
: + wing in France (rumoured) and multiple sets of main spar
: s held by a collector (crash sites)
