Midair Sqn: 3 warbirds up for sale/auction

Post by frank kramer »

Midair Squadron has had a visit from the receivers, and as a consequence three aircraft are put up for sale and/or auction:

Canberra PR.9 XH134/G-OMHD/SH.1724
Hunter T.7 XL577/G-XMHD/41H-003315
Hunter T.7 XL600/G-RAXA/41H-693751

Sad news, as the current situation for flying civil registered jet warbirds (and in particular Hunters) in the UK isn' t too bright after the Shoreham crash and the final results and recommendations of the CAA still pending...

Midair had not displayed in 2015 and were thought to be revamping their operation along the lines of becoming a registered charity; it is difficult to see a way out for them :cry:
