With not much going on in the sky I thougt I'd poke my nose inside TFC's hanger for a look at what they are up to.

This airworth MkXVI was for sale last year. Got a million quid to spare anyone?

TFC's Hellcat staying warm and dry inside today.

Another big cat sits out the weather. F8F Bearcat.

Long tearm rebuild. This Bristol Beaufighter will make a stunning sight in the skies if and when it gets done.

Another Bristol product, the mighty Centaurus engine from TFC's Sea Fury.

Gloster Gladiator. Looks to be coming along quite well.

The mighty Sea Fury. This one has not changed much for some years now. I hope it flies again one day.

From what a TFC insider told me, its a very large if. Same situation with the (Sea) Gladiator and the Sea Fury...

It's a MkXVIe and it's been in those Free French colours now for some time. Before that it was painted in a high altitude scheme of medium sea grey over PRU blue and before that as a USAAF example. It has been in storage now for about a year or so and it was up for sale.
