Darn Kermit you were young. He's a youngster at heart and a love of aircraft. Thanks Kermit!

Shame that sunderland is missing a few turrets. My favourite flying boat, of course.

Wonderful footage of the Martin Marauder Takeoff !!! That is the only Airworthy Marauder exiting anywhere !!! Thanks for posting ! Regards from Alaska!

One of those Marauder's, on a training mission, crashed off the coast of Rocky Piont, Jamaica 1945. The co-pilot's nephew made contact me and is planning come and visit the crashsite.

Has it flown in recent times (i.e. 2015, 2016)?

[@BetterAircraftFabric]

I do think it has not... its such a priceless plane that they are extremely careful with it and its a very complicated twin and Mr Weeks standards for maintenance are high...

[@fw1421]

BetterAircraftFabric I doubt a lot of his planes like the B-26 are still airworthy in 2020. Airplanes require lots of maintenance,even sitting inside in a hangar for a few years. The smaller ones aren’t too bad or too expensive but that’s all relative. Airplanes are real money pits due to parts prices and the hours it takes to maintain them.

It good to see Australian money at work in these projects.

Keep the Theme Park focus going, Kermit ! Dusty static museums are boring, in general !
