After several months of inactivity I felt it was time to get the Jag out of the garage and blow the cobwebs away with a quick blast round the M25 to Brooklands.
As part of its ‘Something in The Air’ programme the museum was holding a small event that would feature some engine runs by the Camel, Drone and Demoiselle. The Napier Railton was also featured in the programme but unfortunately i left before hearing the beast fire up. Here are a few shots from the day.

I never realised you can buy Hurricane props in Tesco, you still haven’t taken it out of the bag in bottom picture.
I know, I know, I’ll see myself out…!

Thanks Guys,
The natural metal Lancaster is a composite project belonging to Jeremy Hall. Comprised of the discarded long nose section of KB976 and a film mock up rear fuselage from the BBC drama ‘Night Flight’. There may well be other parts in the mix too.
The camouflaged cockpit section is scratch built with the addition of original equipment and fittings.

What a fantastic looking museum and some lovely pictures.
Excuse my ignorance but what is the history of the two Lancasters shown?
