I know they have a replica in the hangers with a Chinese power plant, last year I saw it out on taxi way running up and down so by now I would have thought barring problems it should have recieved its AW ticket

Yep, Terry speaks about FW190A-8 replica made by Flugwerk. By now they have produced 20 pcs.
That one in England (G-FWAB) is owned by Tony Blair and according the Czech sources I´ve found it will be only taxiing on the runway during the FL 2009.
To get it in the flying condition it would have to fullfill the CAA rules which is damn expensive and the owner doesn´t have the needed amount available...

Hi Neil, I was wondering too about the name. This is what I´ve read at Czech article:

Nepochybné ale je, že stroj Tonyho Blaira, pozn. zn. G-FWAB bude i letos na červencových Flying Legends jen pojíždět po ploše duxfordského letiště. Ač je teoreticky letuschopný, CAA vyžaduje kompletní certifikační proces, protože podle ní jde o zcela nový typ. To je ale finančně velmi náročná záležitost, na niž britský majitel nemá finanční prostředky.
