Suggestions for Hendon.

re;

What original buildings that are being left to ruin?

The original buildings between the Graham White hangar and the main site.

And whose bright idea was it to stick yellow bollards there, blocking any acsess to the buildings?

Why the need for 2 Tempests, when one would be logically displayed at Cosford?

You have a point, but to be fair the two Tempests are quite different from each other, one being an inline Sabre engined MkV, and the other being the radial Centaurus Mk.II, they are also painted to represent very diverse roles, the II as a fighter and the V as a target tug.
I ‘spose the tug would fit in at Cosford.

Hi Ben, yes that’s the one S.1 XN962 marked as XN972 in an RAF scheme.
Hendon already has a complete S.2, so guess the cockpit is unescesary repitition.

Have they solved the lighting problem in the BoB hall?

Not yet, but they’re about to, http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=100310:D 😀

You mean the S.1 Thats painted up all wrong?

Also what has happened to the Bucc cockpit?

Is this the one that’s in glossy camoflage?
If so probably the example now at Cosford

I went less than two years ago for research.

Have they solved the problem of some curators unable to speak understandable English and when asked a question on any particular exhibit, proceed to read (out loud) the information board positioned in front of them?
Can they not employ older people who have some interest on the subject matter?
Can they not employ people who are not deaf and are able to hear their walkie talkies so as not blast out niff naff a thousand feet in any direction? (when stood 50′ apart!)

re;

Seems a bit odd for MAPS to go to all that effort, only for the cockpit to be inverted for 4.5 years!

Its the one that used to be part of bar/restaurant in Thruxton, with its tail sticking out of a lake.

I went there the other day, where has the Dak nose originated from?

Also what has happened to the Bucc cockpit? it was a rushed visit so I will conceed that it may have been placed else where?

The BA Tristar sim cockpit has always in my opinion been out of place, could well do with a swap with an exhibit from Cosford which already has some airliner exhibits.

re;

I really dont understand why they moved the DH9a. To get it past the B25 and B17 must have meant taking it apart.

Why isnt the Canberra in the bomber hall? (or is it a PR version?)

Yes one of only two PR.3s remaining.

re

somebody has the answers! is the dak nose going to be part of a new exhibition?
