Thanks for the link. I for one really want to thank you for joining the site. I never knew there was so much work going on in the world of warbirds.

Thanks for the up-date, and keep the info coming!
She's come a long way since I last saw her, as a bare fuselage shell. It'll be great to see her in the air again eventually.

Good to see the progress! Thanks for the update.

WOW! Looking very good. Thank you for the update. Can't wait to see it in the air!

It will be great to see flying but I'm not holding my breath. As the article says, it's a long term restoration.

Terry, get your backside down to DX and get some photos when it gets flying!

Always had a soft spot for the Falco.

Are they going to use an authentic engine to power it?

It's a sweet looking plane, be great to see her finally airborne.

If I'm still able to get around when it gets airborne, I'm sure I'll be there to see it ! Over a five year period of DX visits, it didn't seem to have progressed much - but of course, there's a lot of work done which can't be seen by the casual visitor.

You're very welcome - it's great to be informed of changes, up-dates and other news in the aviation and 'war bird' world, as, or before they happen, rather than have to read about it in a magazine three or more months later.

TFC also have an airworthy Gladiator; to see the Fiat and Glad in the air simultaneously will be quite a treat, I'm sure.
