I think there's a Tr. IX too being built from scratch

Charlie that would be the HFL restoration of IAC-161. Its having the Merlin 66 fitted at the moment. I posted a thing about her a few weeks back along with a happy snap of her in her lovely green undercoat :P.

You mean the former Rick Roberts PV202 (aka IAC-161)?

The one I'm refering to is completely new build, ie, the airframe being built totally from scratch. Last time I heard the project was in the US. It was called (initially at least) DM008.

Just found this website. Apparently the owner acquired the data plate of MH367, hence this aircraft is now known as, and has the history of MH367 (I think that's a bit dubious - really its a totally new build aircraft :-/ )

Charlie :)

PS - what section is your IAC-161 post in?

I think it might have been in a thread in General Discussion a couple of months ago....
