BBMF Hanger tour.

Yesterday had a tour around the BBMF hanger, all of the airframes are now undergoing maintenance after a busy season.

I know this has probably been done to death but I am finally getting the hang of this picture taking lark:D .

Mk is at Duxford (ARCO), The Dak and Chippys x2 are still flying, everything else is on winter maintenance and so will not be flyable for the foreseeable future (Mar 08)

All that effort just so that us lovers of vintage warbirds can enjoy the sight and sound of them in the air. To be serious though, I certainly appreciate the lengths the BBMF go to out of season to prepare for next year. Many thanks to all involved from one who appreciates what you do.
