Hi,
Here are some photos of the various museums I visited during my holiday last week.
Shuttleworths Gladiator and Hind. The Glad was in for some maintenance and had most of its panels removed. I was allowed behind the barrier to take a number of close ups of the internal structure. The Hind had most of its panels removed as well.

Top stuff Alex!
And a most interesting thread!
THAT would be something to see Alex!

Sounds great. Do you know when they plan to fly the Glad? Will the CR42 be flyable as well?
Can you imagine these two dogfighting over Duxford?

CR-42 at Italian Air Force Museum, photo courtesy of Paulo Franzini. A taster of what is to come.

All systems go with the Gladiator. The restoration manpower is concentrating solely on this aircraft, the Sea Fury to follow jointly with the CR-42.

The word from Digby on this forum a few weeks ago was that things should now start to move on the Glad and Sea Fury over the winter.

Some from Duxford.
The Glad has its engine fitted but there doesn’t seem to be much work going on at the moment.
Anyone know if this has been put on hold?
