P-38H Lightning 42-66841

Post by TankBuster » Tue Jul 17, 2018 2:40 pm

Hi all,

I was reading an article in an old Flypast mag from Feb 2015 about the above P-38 which was imported into the UK from Australia. The aircrafts last known whereabouts was in the care of Richard Grace at Bentwaters. I know that the Graces' no longer operate from Bentwaters, but whatever happened to the P-38 & is it still in the UK?

Cheers, TankBuster
And there's plenty more where that came from!

Many thanks for the info, hopefully its going to remain in the UK and eventually take to the skies again one day. A lovely aircraft!

years ago I saw Doug Arnold's P38 being thrown about over mid Kent, far more manouverable than any airshow routine I've seen one do, not that I've seen that many.
In this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.
