Gloster Gladiator Restoration Project

 

 

Retro Track & Air seeks an investment partner to purchase a partially restored

Gloster Gladiator – the wreckage of the aircraft (Serial No. N5719) was recovered from Northern Norway after crashing following a dogfight with an HE 111 in the defence of Narvick.

 

 

 

The fuselage of the Gladiator is already taking shape

 

         Retro now wishes to complete the restoration of the Gladiator using both undamaged items from the wreckage and parts constructed from the original GAC technical drawings.

  Using these methods, the purchaser will be able (and here, Retro would be very willing to assist) with the restoration of the Gloster Gladiator (complete with a permit to fly).  The aircraft is already registered with the CAA as G-CBHO.

Only one other airworthy Gladiator exists in the world today!
