That is fantastic.
Wouldnt it be great to get pics of her in the air?
My guess is they wont fly her because they restored and installed an original DH9 engine.
The DH-9 was never intended as a flying restauration. To be fair, there's been far more interesting restoration stories not covered in the press. I think a lot of it may be to do with
this company looking for business, as it has a lot of interesting aeroplanes in various states of repair and restoration, amongst its fliers.
As mentioned in the press, this was one of several recovered.
this one is a flying restoration. Having said that, the previous airworthy WWI retoration is now a static exhibit in Canada having been swapped for a potentially airworthy Heinkel Salamander.
