As I was having a long weekend at Doncaster with the parents, I spent a couple or three hours having a wander around the AeroVenture museum on Sunday. It’s a while since my last visit and the main hangar now has a Bleriot Type XI replica and small display celebrating the first aviation meeting to be held in England just over the road at Doncaster race course in October 1909. A lot of the exhibits are packed into the hangar and difficult to photograph and the sodium lighting doesn’t help either. The most notable changes are outside. The Harrier I spied wrapped in tarpaulins at Bletchley Park last year.

re;
I would guess the Dak is a very long term project. Well worth the wait though considering the work of the teams other projects

Blimey…I flew that Sea King XV677 in 1979 whilst serving on 706 NAS ! Does it have a complete cockpit?
I took some photos inside XV677 on one of my many visit’s to this Fantastic museum 🙂

re;
I wouldn’t call a T.19 radome thin…. Maybe he is looking at the canberra cockpit with the Jaguar cockpit’s nose poking out from behind?
Ah I looked again and you are right!

I assume so.
Although I don’t know if that mark of Gannet ever flew in Northern Ireland, and I’m not sure of that aircraft has any direct link.
Looks like it still needs a lot of work done from any photo’s I’ve seen of it. Didn’t its undercarriage collapse once?

Thanks Airfixtwin, I hadn’t realised that it had moved, I take it that is in respect of Eglintons’ past?

Looks like the Jet Art Tornado F.2 cockpit section there as well.
Anyone know how the Gannet there is shaping up?
The Gannet is now in Northern Ireland with the UAS.
Be interesting to see if its finished before their Wildcat.

Apologies, was viewing from mini laptop, don’t they look similar!
Hi Blue, yeah I think that’s what prompted my question, they have performed miracles on the Gannet fuselage which I had thought was left for dead at one stage.
