    Bf-109 G-6 DB 605 engine

    Lightning88 replied to Lightning88's topic in WWII

    Yes, that's correct and as you say its great to see some more DB605 powered machines flying Here's some info from Pete's link: WNF produced G-6, flown by Lt Schulte, crashed on May 29th 1944 near Melk/Austria. The wreck was recovered and the Austrian Michael Rinner started to restore it in 2007. In 2013, the project was bought by Air Fighter Academy in Zirchow/Germany and the restoration was fully finished (I think) in 2017.

    Pakistani Mirages overhaul

    Lightning88 replied to Lightning88's topic in Cold War

    Hi Jure, Glad you enjoyed the link and like you I am amazed that they continue to keep their Mirages airworthy for so long. I read that they have produced Mirages themselves under license so perhaps have a supply of spare parts. Delays in introducing the JF-17 has meant keeping the Mirages for longer than anticipated.

    Hi, I'm interested in the Hawker Hunter correction set & underwing set.

     

    Would you be willing to let go for £14.00?

     

    Thanks
