Aero-Linx!
Scouring the information super airways can sometimes be a tough,
if educational, task for the Aero-News staff... but it also allows
us to check out some truly neat and exciting sites, so it's not
that bad a gig. On any given day, we may check dozens (and often
hundreds) of different sources for story ideas, and facts
confirmation. And, as is the nature of our business, much of this
is done on the Internet.
The ANN gang decided we probably shouldn't keep some of the neat
sites, info resources, and organizations we've discovered to
ourselves... so we decided to bring you Aero-Linx. These are the
sites that WE check out -- when we need added perspective, a new
spin on a day's topic... or just want to escape into
cyber-aero-space for awhile.
Look for some of our favorite sites, coming each day to ANN via
Aero-Linx. Suggestions for future Aero-Linx segments
are always welcome, as well.
Aero-Linx: The Historic Aircraft Collection
The Historic Aircraft Collection was formed in 1985 by Guy Black
and Angus Spencer-Nairn to restore and operate Spitfire Mk. IX
TE566. Alongside this major project, two other Spitfires were
recovered from gate guardian roles in Belgium. Both of these
Spitfires were subsequently sold and have now been restored by
Historic Flying. HAC now operates a fleet of six flying aircraft
that includes a Spitfire Vb, a Hurricane XII, a Hawker Nimrod II, a
Fieseler Storch, a de Havilland Chipmunk and a L4 Grasshopper. With
several rare and interesting aircraft still undergoing restoration,
HAC is fulfilling its ambition of restoring and operating some very
special vintage piston engine military aircraft.
