Re: Tomcat at DX

Well there is a lot of space to prep another stand on the grass to the right of the F15; or better still in front of the glass on the hard stuff!

If the IWM was worried about corrosion then they would be mindful to remember these naval types were designed to live & breathe in the harsh waters of the world. I rather think a bit of english rain was not going to worry a ‘Tomcat’.

I rather think if it was DX which turned it down it was due to the fact ‘Airspace’ needs as much funding as possible to finish it. Afterall I understand they are a few quid off budget! Also all IWM restoration focus is on ‘commonwealth’ aircraft.

It would be great for the IWM to now crack on restoring the Shackleton or Victor which ironically have suffered years of the english weather; rather than a F14!:)
