I like seafires :)
Fly fast jets and/or C130s over my house please, I'm bored!

I was having a browse through the key publishing forums the other day and spent a good while looking in this great thread in the Historic Aviation section. This particular post shows photos of SX336 being rescued from a scrapyard along with SX300, it is great to see that SX336 is now a flying aircraft once again considering the state that it was once in.

Not wishing to hijack this thread but has anyone heard anything recently about SX300/G-RIPH?

I know she's on a long term rebuild but I just wondered what progress had been made.

Nice shots of SX336 BTW. I got to see her up close on a tour round Yeovilton a few years ago.
I'm English, and as such I crave disappointment
