Pzkpfw-e Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 The blurb says "Last run at the Flying Legends show, Duxford 2014." 128's his Merlin on a stand too, "was last used at Duxford in June 2011, oil loss during storage is evident" I remember seeing both of these at shows. Hopefully, whoever buys them will continue to show them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
