Farm find Hornet to fly

摘要

The once seemingly impossible dream of seeing a de Havilland DH103 Hornet in the air has now become a very real likelihood, following the announcement during mid-September by Pioneer Aero at Ardmore, New Zealand of its intention to rebuild Sea Hornet F20 TT193 to flying condition. There are currently no examples of the 383 Hornets built in existence, the last complete airframe, that of NF21 VW949, having been scrapped at a civil defence yard located at Westerton near Goodwood, West Sussex, circa 1961-62.
