Gamecock trio signals a Gloster revival

摘要

THE PROSPECT OF two airworthy examples of the Gloster Gamecock, and a new museum to house a static example in the county of its birth, came closer to reality during February. At Dursley, Gloucestershire, Retro Track and Air has announced a project to rebuild a Gamecock II that has been acquired from the KeskiSuomen llmailumuseo atTikkakoski in Finland. The fuselage, tail and various other parts from Gamecock II, GA-43, one of two Cheltenham-built, 'imperial measure' pattern aircraft sent to Finland in 1928, arrived back in Gloucestershire last summer. The Finns subsequently built 15 'metric' Gamecock M's, named the Kukko.
