Former Empire AirTraining Scheme Boeing PT-27 Kaydet FJ801/N62842 is gradually being assembled by volunteers at the Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museum, Flixton. Wingsforthe biplane trainer have been restored by museum members, but as there is insufficient spare covered display space at present to fit them, they may go on show without fabric to show construction.The museum's Luton LA.5 Major, G-APUG, is displayed uncovered, and has proved to be very popular with visitors. All the PT-27 components were generously donated to the museum by Paul Bennett and Bob Sage of Stearman restoration/maintenance specialists Black Barn Aviation, who are based just afew miles to the west of Flixton at the old USAAF B-24 Liberator base at Tibenham Airfield. Back in 2003, Black Barn donated a Fairchild F.24 C8F, N16676, to the museum. The aircraft has been restored in the markings it wore while being flown by Civil Air in the USA during the Second World War.
