Planet Hollywod Se5a replicas found at last!

[Bitz Dr1]

I just found some information to confirm the locations of both Planet Hollywood Curry Wot Se5a Replicas

I found video- recent too- click this link here to see

Inside the secret Planet Hollywood vault (http://www.myfoxorlando.com/dpp/money/051811-inside-the-secret-planet-hollywood-vault)


that confirms the location of one of the legitimate minis that Planet Hollywood owns, and also have an article that was posted in 2000 confirming that the entire contents of the location in South Africa was liquidated in 2000 after the place was bombed by terrorists in 1998 forcing business downhill to closure of that location.

This is all confirmed in writing by Planet Hollywood's legal team, and Curators team, with the serial numbers of both birds that were bought by them from FAC in Texas.

In our efforts to find all of the former WWI Film Industry aircraft, we have met some wonderful folks along the way, and almost all have been extremely helpful in assisting us in getting them back in the Family, where they belong.

We all now know the locations of the complete set of the 6 replica Se5a that were built by Slingsby Aviation for use in the film industry, based in Ireland in the 60's and 70's.

just for clarity sake- this thread is intended to inform film fans and aviation enthusiasts, not digress into an argument over ownership- that part is painfully clear-I own 4 of them, and Planet Hollywood confirmed the locations of the other two in their care.

Ok, so two are in my hanger here, Planet Hollywood pair are confirmed, so that makes the two that have recently been offered in New York for sale to be owned by me as well. We look forward to seeing them all together in one place. Here are some photos of one of them.

The Caudron Luciolle has also been lovingly restored, and is in Florida. Hopefully, sometime future, they will have that aircraft flying.

Planet Hollywood, sadly, is not interested in selling anything out of their collection..

Here are a couple of more photos- I also found some of them from when they were being used in the films too-

Great to see that these A/C will be together once more, well four of them anyway!:) In my article for Aeroplane magazine a few years back I asked if anyone knew where they were and hey presto look what has happened!! Fantastic. Good to see that you have also traced the two that are still registered in Ireland to Lynn Garrison, I tried many times to try and find out where they where, at one point it was thought that they were still in Ireland as they had never been registered anywhere else:huh: Look forward to hearing more of their story in due course, its a shame that two remain with Planet Hollywood and will never fly again:(
Here is a pic of two of them taking off for another film sortie from Weston in Ireland in 1970.
