The Fighter Collection P-47 Roll Out

Wow.  The Fighter Collection in England has rolled out another stunning restoration of a rare Warbird.  Take a look at the paint scheme on their nearly complete P-47 restoration!  A short video of the roll out is posted on their blog.  With their Flying Legends airshow coming up next month we should see pictures of the P47 debut soon!  (photo credit to Friends of TFC blog)

Thunderbolt Restoration Progress

The Fighter Collection is making good progress on the restoration of their P-47 Thunderbolt.  The hope is that it will fly this year in time to make a few showings during this airshow season.  One of a few rare "Razorback" models, this Thunderbolt will be a great addition to the line up at Duxford as the type flew many missions from that famous airfield.  We look forward to seeing the paint scheme applied and it thundering into the skies once again!  Special thanks goes out to Brian Marshall for permission to post his pictures taken just a few days ago. More of Brian's pictures are posted on the Plane Talk forum here... http://forum.planetalk.net/viewtopic.php?t=10196
