A few from a quick visit to this interesting little collection. The Flypast sponsored interpretation boards are a nice touch.
Spitfire is a replica.

Wit a bit more investment and a few more volunteers it could be a very good museum not to say it already isn’t ! I’d love to see the buccaneer repainted into its current early paint scheme ( it is the only one exsisting to still retain these colours ! ) I’d also like to see the dove restored as it would help tell the story of the airport further.

Cool, I really need to visit the place, I work opposite and see it from across the runway.

After visiting today I can say this museum does not get the coverage it deserves ! Every time I visit there are new aditions or items worthy of looking at ! For example in the hanger today was a great collection of bmi baby items and the argosy was open to have a look around , I also noticed fundraising was underway for a second Romney hut with idea of being able to preserve either the lightning , buccaneer or one of the hunters indoors and provide a suitable environment for smaller aircraft to be restored in.

I like the Argosy, nice images.

Yep, still the same as June, but she’ll look very distinctive when finished.
Thanks for the update.

The Meteor’s still missing it’s starboard wing. This is how it looks now, probably same as in June I’d imagine.

Thanks for posting 1 Group,
How does the Meteor TT.20 look now?
The last time I was there in early June she was awaiting a wing to be fitted.
Great to see a TT.20 AS a TT.20 and not painted as a NF variant.
