Air Museum photos

Thanks for posting Lee – any shots of the Harvard?

All the best and welcome to the forum

TT

Hiya Lee, me and Rita called in at the museum when the canberra and jetstream were being put inside, it was a spur of the moment thing to come down so i didn’t have time to pm you, sorry mate. i will be calling in again some time soon though and promise to give you a shout next time.
all the best.

Lee, nice to see the photo’s, I particularly liked the cockpit page, if you could expand this further then even better! Always good to see the Pilots office. Regards Fly.Buy

its ok mate, i tand to confuse things a bit anyways. its going to be about three years or so before we get her to the condition we want her in though.
all the best,
Greg

Doh!!!!

sorry mate miss read that has, you used to be ground crew when she was in service, all the best with what your doing to her mate

hiya mate, the groud crew bit is what we refer to ourselves as, with her being grounded at the mo, she will not be flying but everything will work, got to say though, she looks far worse than she is. we are at the painting stage, and have started to fit out the cockpit, lots of work still to do though.
best regards,
Greg

Sounds like you have your hands full mate,

I see you were ground crew for said aircraft, did you ever get to have a jolly in her at anytime?

Has for the Swift and the other aircraft in the new hanger, emmmm they all seem to be going a deeper shade of Red in there at the minute, They are sanding down the Varsity in there and the red dust is floating around the hanger and settling on most of the other airframes, nothing a good dust down wont cure at the end of the day

Hiya Lee, the JP i’m working on is the one at the visiters center at the former RAF Metheringham (not far from RAF Digby), the JP is a T4, serial XS186, its owned by a mate of mine called Paul and i’m there most saturdays, we are aiming at getting all the systems fully operational.
aaaah the swift, i was involved with her first restoration, must be about 18 years ago now, i can see its been done again, am glad she is inside now. for a funny tale about the time i was working on her check out the thread about embarrasing happenings on here mate,
best regards.

I can see it was a recent visit,

its nice to see abit of blue sky in your shots, im only five minutes away from the place, but i just cant seem to be there when its blue sky and sunny, or that i havent got my camera with me when it is :rolleyes:

I can’t resist putting up a few of my own recent pictures from the Newark Air Museum – I don’t get to the UK often enough!

to see new developments at museums

Im pleased to say that Newark is very much developing in the right direction 🙂

Lee, do you know that the Museum has a “Virtual Tour” on CD-ROM?

Hi Papa, yes i was aware of the CD-Rom, sorry to say ive still yet to purchase one, although i do have a peep at it when its playing in the shop

Sorry to bore you with this,

but ive just added another 50 photos to the site,

and im also starting to do write ups about all the aircraft at the museum

Not boring at all, in fact one of the most useful things (to me) the internet is for is to see new developments at museums e.t.c, and photos if possible!

Lee, do you know that the Museum has a “Virtual Tour” on CD-ROM? A copy of the 2002 issue is in front of me now!
Also don’t forget to check for more information via the Search facility on this Forum!
