I was sad to read of the departure of The Fighter Collection's Corsair from Duxford this year after 30+ years in the UK, now heading to a new owner in the US.
However, the warbird industry benefits from the back and forth of assets and a small consolation was the welcome addition of a Lysander project, that'll be three in the UK, a sight not seen for many years.
That said, the recent news of TFC also selling their unique and lovely, super shiny P-36 and the continued silence around the future of Flying Legends, made me wonder if there's more going on here.
Many are aware that DCS are in legal battles with some of their 3rd party developers, RAZBAM reportedly haven't been paid by ED for over a year. I didn't realise but apparently other Devs such as Heatblur also report not being paid on time.
(For those that didn't know, Nick Grey of The Fighter Collection also owns Eagle Dynamics.)
Now, I don't usually get involved in any of the DCS forum madness, but an aviation forum led me down this rabbit hole: Exploring The Dark Sides Of Digital Combat Simulator 🤯
Ultimately, I hope ED and the devs can sort all this out and TFC stop selling off aeroplanes!
