And to divert slightly, I think we have seen those wheels on some of our post-war ground equipment (battery-carts and suchlike).

Hopefully to Wigram so they can progress the pair of them (Vincent and Wildebeest) together?

Which IMHO raises an interesting question: According to the NZ Customs site 'Parts of ships and aircraft' that are over 50 years old are 'Protected New Zealand objects' and as such cannot be exported(1), yet, as already noted above, this 'Over 50 year old ' aircraft, would seem to be destined to depart our shores. If that is in fact the case, then under what circumstances would this be allowed to occur? Thank you. ___________________________ (1) [n.a.], 'Prohibited and restricted exports' [online], New Zealand Customs Service, www.customs.govt.nz/personal/send-and-receive-items/prohibited-and-restricted-exports/ [accessed 16 June 2023] |

The RAF Museum would be a worthy recipient.

OK, Steve has given me permission to let you all know that the Vincent’s off to assist 102 on her journey back to life at Wigram.

That good news Dave, perhaps there will be enough of both aircraft to have one complete one and a fuselage complete as another display

Great news indeed! A certain Fairey Gordon could do with a similar relocation!
