Jim,

I think you will find some more info on surviving babies here on the forum; if I remember correctly there is a thread regarding chassis numbers, which also lists some other survivors....(?)

One of the Dutch F8's is owned by the Witten family, it's a cab 12 with lengthened "short box" as pictured in this thread. The other two were running as well. The green one came from the Uk some years ago.

My C8 is not under restoration yet...same goes for the C8 in the private collection of Dirk and Stefan. Than there is another unrestored C8 cab 11 with lengthened short box for sale at Dirk's. I believe the Cab 12 C8 with long box sold in the meantime and I guess it's being restored by the new owner. Dirk told me it stayed in Holland and went to a private museum.

Don't forget Nick Bullock's C8 in the UK. Also there is another great F8 in the UK with camo.......owned by one of the Ashby guys(?).
The F8 in desert colours is owned by Clifton Lang and performed in Beltring last weekend.

What about the brown one in the UK shown in this thread.....would it be the one used in the TV/Film about the Dambusters as shown on the forum before?
