Hi all
A lot of people have never been to East Fortune and it has been the topic of much conversation on this and the WIX site so I thought you might like to see my photos from my last vist there at the end of last year. There are 52 and include a limited few of Concorde – it is a great Museum and it is to be hoped it will emerge even better in the future.

Go to the last page and see the East Fortune album.

Havent looked at Setters photos yet, but what I can say is that the colour of the underside of the Spit has looked a bit-pink-to my eyes for the past few years. Curious to know why.

I always enjoy seeing photos of East Fortune Aircraft. I hope that next time you vist you will be able to get a better look at the items in the “storeage hanger” such as the Auster and the Beaufighter.
PS the Red aircraft G-FJU on page 1 is a Miles Monarch not a Percival- its very photogenic don’t you think>Also what do the Spitfire experts think about the colour of the underside of the Spitfire. It really has faded to that shade! 😮
Well spotted, Robert. I only had time this morning to scan through the photos quickly and hadn’t noticed G-AFJU, the Miles Monarch, described as a Percival.
I’m not sure that the Spitfire underside is actually that colour. I’d need to take another look at it, but I think there is some colour distortion from the flash.

It’s just about there. The aircraft is more-or-less externally complete, with internal work in process now. What’s rather nice is I look straight out at her from the window next to my desk!

“RadarArchive Nice photos there, John. A couple of small points. The a/c you describe as a Leopard Moth is in fact a Puss Moth. The Cygnet was made by GAL (General Aircraft Ltd) not GAC. “
Sorry
I do know the difference but just plain stuffed up.
Will Correct
