A wonderfully sunny day prompted a visit too DX in the hope of seeing the hangar one expats outside. Not so, hangar one was closed but still housed Concorde. All the other a/c have been accommodated in the other hangars resulting in the Phantom, Gannet and Sea Vixen, which have been displaced to between hangars two and three.
It felt like I had the airfield to myself as there were only a dozen or so cars in the car park.
Just a few shots as a number have been posted already this year.
The Blenheim is progressing nicely and if he’s got time I spotted an extra job for Smudge, on the port wing leading edge of the Rastacat. Ouch.
The mossie spray job looks to be complete.

Bad news about the Cat – hangar rash or storm damage?
I zipped past today but seeing no Concorde outside assumed they’d delayed moving a/c out of the superhangar during the poor weather, and didn’t pop in.
“Storm damage”. 🙁
Apparently it was too windy to move concorde outside. Presumably the wind speed was greater than Mach 2.2.

Nice pic of the Gladiator! I can hardly wait to see this one where it belongs! 😎

That Mossie really looks superb in the TT scheme. It was about time someone painted one as a TT – that use being a large contributor to the surviving Mosquito population.
