Cully's Camel

As displayed at Lambeth, the BE2c has the tips of its elevators pointing up. Why is this?

I would imagine that over the years the fabric has pulled the structure out of shape 🙂

Don’t worry, plenty more coming from Burma in original markings (fingers crossed)

IWM Spitfire

Please God, they don’t repaint one of the last spitfires in original Wartime paintwork!
I just know it is a tradgedy waiting to happen!
In original paintwork, and combat history, this aircraft is probably one of the most important Spitfires anywhere!
It should have an English Heritage Nitromoors exclusion zone!

Let’s hope that the IWM takes this opportunity to re-instate the correct sky blue undersurfaces on Culley’s Camel

No, but the huge task of moving everything is well underway. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Camel and BE2 at Duxford within a week or so. The Spitfire and Mustang will follow, but disassembly is likely to be more protracted. There’s no word on whether they will all be assembled and displayed, stored or undergo in-depth conservation, but hopefully there will be a chance of detailed inspection!
I am particularly looking forward to the Camel’s arrival, it is without doubt one of the most historic aircraft in the country. WWI survivors are rare, but combat veterans are few and far between.

Hi DCW
Have you got any inside info as to when the Camel and Be2 will be moved to Duxford:)

Keep watching Duxford Diary……..
