Here are a few views of exhibits at the Midland Air Museum from a slightly different perspective – it was dark…. 😀
Firstly, a couple of the wonderful Canberra….. you can almost feel the cockpit atmosphere!

Kev: Just for that, I’m gonna post a pic of you taken during one of those rare 5 minutes ya actually stayed at the Museum whilst “on call”…… 😀 Look under the Sea Hawk thread real soon :rolleyes:
Oh and just to say that the whole weekend was brilliant, met some forumites too, and some fellow Hunter enthusiasts which was great…

The anti-collison lights on one of the other aircraft they had lit up there that evening.
Can’t think of which one it was at the moment, but it’ll come to me, I’m sure of it, it’ll come . . . . :rolleyes:

Secondly the Hunter….
First 2 shots were taken at dusk, to show a clearer view of the cockpit whilst powered up
Shot 3 is a composite shot of the gunsight working at night. Very difficult to actually take a good shot of this in action, as it relies on 2 projected images which are actually slightly out of alignment at present, but you get the idea…
Shot 4 shows the starboard console after dark, with it’s subtle panel illumination glowing…
Shot 5 & 6 show the Navigation lights are all in order…
Shot 7 – well I waited, and waited, but the pilot never showed up despite the Hunter being ready to roll all night….lol
