Will the real EZ999 please step forward ?

I would point out that nobody has contacted me

The explanation for that is simple Steve, no one had you has a point of contact in their approaches to the museum. I obtained a contact number (mobile phone) from the museums web site which directed me to a woman by the name of Nicole who was rather high up in the museum hierarchy. As Danny has expounded in his last email, numerous approaches have been made to the museum, and seemingly remain unanswered, which suggests a problem at the museums end.

PS: I know you do good work Steve in the restoration arena, that is appreciated by all who have an interest in such, and appreciate you might be a busy man. A simple reply to Stanwell's post

I'm sure, be appreciated by the many who have contributed to, or just followed, this discussion if you could let us know where the conclusions arrived at are flawed

was all that was being asked of you, rather than a "get in touch with me if you want to know anything". No one has been "downright rude and insulting" and I'm sorry if you have taken anything that way. We do get a lot of posers here it has to be said though.

Time to lay this to rest

Amen

megan,

Agreed. Now can some kind soul tell me how to close this redundant Thread of mine ? (As before, suggest that anything further on the subject can be said on the "Pilot's Brevet in WWII" Thread).

EZ999 - Response from the Custodian

I have received a number of inquiries relating to this thread with concerns regarding the provenance of EZ999 and the authenticity of the CMA claim of ownership. This has been adequately addressed in previous posts and I trust that matter is resolved.

My apologies for not responding to the website contact form, this link is no longer active while we update the website. Any inquiries on this aircraft or any other aircraft in the collection can be made to my mobile or by email.

The Camden Museum of Aviation is a private aircraft collection founded by my grandfather Harold Thomas. There are many who have visited the collection or volunteered over the 50 years it has been around. My family continues the task of preserving this significant historic collection with the assistance of an active workforce of 30 volunteers.

We welcome the contributions or questions from those who have a genuine interest or connection to the aircraft. Historical records or anecdotal references also help expand our archive so if you have photos, stories or operational records, please feel free to contact me.

CMA admin (your #63),

Welcome aboard ! - you will find that all the action on your (and other) Vultee Vengeances is on "Gaining a RAF Pilot's Brevet in WWII" Thread on this Forum.

Tried PPRune "Search this Thread", but it only turned up my page p.136 #2702 (to get to p.136 easily (to date there are 455 Pages), look for the Page Number bar, right at the end is a little inverted triangle, click that and you get "Go to Page" box).

The Vengeance EZ999 identity problem is long since solved to our satisfaction: we traced the chap who rebuilt it, it is a pukka Mk.I - but the Museum, for some reason, then fitted it out as a Mk.IV with a single 0.50 Browning (with matching canopy) in the rear (which is the hallmark of the Mk.IV). All sorted out now. It is a Mk I, the EZ999 is genuine, it is just masquerading as a Mk.IV.

Come in on "Pilot's Brevet", the water's fine, the best Thread on PPrune Forums IMHO, and we'll answer any questions you like. At the moment "Fly Past" magazine (September number) is being dissected for a Vengeance article on it.
