Hangar Queen ?

Post by redeye11 » Thu Jun 13, 2024 3:56 pm

Has the Tempest which I've seen inside hangar 3 at Duxford on a number of occasions since its arrival from Sywell last October flown since ? I'm aware its been down for a number of airshows this summer but has it been seen yet ?

It's won't be at Sywell next week or Shuttleworth at the end of the month unfortunately, due to engine problems. Could be sometime before it flies again.

The first flight was Sywell to Duxford, 10th October. Local flight from Duxford 6th November. Not flown since. There were some engine runs in March.
