Milsurp After Hours

Restoration of a significant and historic aircraft restoration at the New Richmond, WI airport of a British carrier born nuke weapon carrying counter-rotating turbo prop. It is now ready for air shows after 6000+ hrs of blood sweat and tears.

I hope enthusiasts, supporters and friends worldwide will join us and enjoy a journey, and closer look at her unique history from the beginning as WN365 through to XT752. From the ups and downs, to the current and future life of the worlds only Fairey Gannet that became a prototype and new development TWICE, with an amazing service history through military and civilian care.

I took a pic of a Gannet at the air museum in Dumfries in Scotland four years ago.

Whenever I see one of those, it reminds me of a plane drawn in a cartoon, just too silly looking
to actually fly. But it is always great to see a piece of history restored and saved for us to see.
Hopefully they will fly it to large airshows for the crowds enjoyment.

I'm pretty certain I was up close and photographed Gannet XT752 at the short lived Polar Aviation museum in Blaine, Minnesota in the late 90's.

Wonder where those foties went to ???
