Nice shots! Funny that common sense rightly says that aircraft should be preserved indoors for their long term health as much as possible, but there is something about seeing them all outside like that appeals to me. Photographically it’s far better!
Can you imagine seeing an Me410, Ju52, Liberator etc displayed outside on a grass area now?!
Nice to see the Valetta on display and the Victor Mk1.
It was a real shame that the Canberra B(I).8 was deemed unworthy of being kept by the RAFM, but at least it is in good hands now.
There have been some shameful decisions made in the past at Cosford, both by the RAFM and BA collection.

Vulcan XM598 arrived in early 1983 if that helps with dates.
