Awasome pictures of the nose/engine. Cheers Owen

 

They've done well recreating them, haven't they?

 

Hi Andy,

Yes it's a quality operation. I believe that each aircraft has an original 1940s tailwheel.

It's also worth noting that they're tooling up on the P-51. I have a dream.............

Cheers

You can't keep a good design down!

 

Duxford, 2007 Flying Legends. Not in the air but just looking 'plane' menacing !.

 

A couple of the long nose variant (bet taxying was a fun thing to do with no forward visibility !).

I believe that there are plans afoot at the moment to get a long nosed FW in the air using a V12 Alison and a much modified propellor reduction gearbox to sort out the CofG issue and provide the correct length of 'bonnet'. I'll see if I can dig out the article and confirm choice of engine. later on this week.

 

Yup, I wuz right !

The 'new build' 190 D is soon to go up in Florida. she's powered by a Allison V-1710. This airframe is one of three long nosed variants that will be built by Flug Werk.
