Citat:Wednesday 25 September 2024...

Last weekend saw an interesting formation flight at the Planes of Fame Central Coast AirFest in Santa Maria which is a couple of hundred kilometres North West of Los Angeles, CA. It was the first time that two Avspecs restored DH 98 Mosquitos had flown together...

Mosquito FB VI N474PZ ex ZK-BCV leads the ex Glynn Powell Mosquito T 43 N2308Z ex ZK-PWL2. Both have previous RNZAF identities... [Link mogu videti samo ulogovani korisnici]

Najpre sam hteo da postavim u temu o Harikenu, ali ovde će ga videti više ljudi. Jedini hariken koji je leteo tokom Bitke za Britaniju, a koji je i danas u letnom stanju - Mk I, R4118.



Koliko sam shvatio, postoje drugi koji nose oznake iz tog vremena, ali zapravo datiraju iz kasnijeg perioda. R4118 je jedini koji je omirisao barut 1940:Citat:... R4118 was constructed at the Gloster factory in 1940, and that August was delivered to 605 (County of Warwick) Squadron. This was halfway through the Battle of Britain, and for the remainder of the conflict this airframe flew 49 sorties from RAF Croydon. During that time R4118 destroyed or damaged five enemy aircraft. On 22nd October 1940, this Hurricane was herself shot down – the damage was considered repairable and the aircraft was back in service by January 1941 based at Dyce with 111 Squadron. Much of the aircraft’s flight time at this point was spent performing North Sea patrols with combat occurring from time to time. As newer Hurricanes came into service, R4118 eventually became a training mount with 56 & 59 OTUs. The airframe was a victim of three major incidents during that time, each requiring a rebuild – hitting a snowbank on one occasion and colliding with a lorry on the runway on another! In December 1943 the Hurricane was shipped by sea to India for further training use but remained inside its container in Bombay until 1947. At this point the aircraft was demobbed and donated to the Varanasi university for engineering instruction.

In 1982, businessman and restorer Peter Vacher was touring India cataloguing Rolls Royce cars that had been owned by maharajahs, when he saw the remains of an aircraft parked in a compound. The wood and fabric had rotted away, and the wings, tailplane and propeller lay on the ground but he recognised it as a wartime fighter and posed for a picture in the dilapidated cockpit. He noted the registration was R4118 and upon returning home, discovered this very aircraft had served in the Battle of Britain. Peter kept thinking about the Hurricane and in 1996 made an offer for the aeroplane. It took 5 years of negotiation and bureaucracy before R4118 came home to the UK in 2001. A restoration back to flight began immediately with Hurricane specialists Hawker Restorations who ensured the aircraft was returned to its exact Battle of Britain configuration with the original type Merlin III engine, correct (decommissioned) armament and Irish linen covering. The aircraft flew again after restoration in late 2004 following the painstaking rebuild.

In 2005 the aircraft was reunited with several surviving pilots who had flown R4118 during their careers, including Battle of Britain pilot Bob Foster who had damaged two Ju88s and helped destroy another in that very aeroplane... The aircraft now spends time between its two bases at White Waltham airfield in Berkshire and Duxford airfield in Cambridgeshire, where it is maintained by the Aircraft Restoration Company...
