Visits at Portuguese aviation musea

Thanks, Padidiver…nice work…looks like a Harpoon and Ju-52 at the Alverca graveyard

More precisely an Amiot AAC.1 Toucan and a PV-2D Harpoon. 😉

Hi there! 🙂

Nice photos you took around here, but let me make you some corrections if you don’t mind. First of all, PoAF called their former RNLN Neptunes P2V-5 and not SP-2E; the burnt out A-7P Corsair’s serial is 15532, not 155(32); and finally, the Sikorsky UH-19 SAR helo is an A, not a D. 😉

At Monte Real Air Base (Portugal’s Fightertown), that’s not a museum, in the normal sense of what we know about museums, but more like a collection of former fighter and training jets associated with Monte Real’s history.

As promised some more

Have fun scanning and photoshopping…

Hi all,
Longshot we were not allowed entrance at the graveyard. But we could see quite a bit from the parking. Looking was permitted, photography was not at least so we were told after we took some pictures. We really, really didn’t know…. euhhh :D. But the Museu do Ar at Alverca was pretty good but lot’s of replica’s, photo’s will follow next week, also for JB. But next week.

Hi Pieter….Some nice shots among your scans which have come out nice.I really like the sants cruz photo with the colour window and map of the world as a backdrop, it works a treat.Look forward to more of your scans.JB.:)

Do they allow access to the aircraft graveyard at Alverca? Were there any historical photos on display?

Thank you longshot. Yep, went to both also to the hanger at Ota, photo’s will follow soon. Any requests?

Good photos….did you go to Alverca and Sintra?….
