RAF Museum Hendon – buzzed by two Hurricanes tonight

Actually I like Cosford and the Cold War hangar and its layout aswel, but I think it should remain a one off for the RAFM museum, hanging up these exotic and unique machines fills me with dread.

I wasn’t saying anything against Cosford, I quite like the look of it too, was just a ‘haven’t I seen that somewhere before’ moment when I went to the link… I’m with you on the stringing them up like Airfix kits issue too btw. 🙁

Ummm – thats “original” – that said I quite like Cosford so I’m willing to go on a little faith and see how it pans out, 21st century and all that…..

Well we all asked for light and looks like we will have it – all be it in a funny shaped building with the aircraft strung up like Airfix kits!

Mark V : Thanks for the information on the number of Hurricanes flying today in the UK !

Your welcome – there are another six in other parts of the world too 🙂

Looks like they’ve upended the Cold War building at Cosford!

First time I’d seen the new plans….Urgh!!! Monstrosity, Carbuncle etc etc.

Came home twenty mins early, nearly caught us out!!
Hopefully putting up 4 Hurris for Duxford Sat/Sun.

Had this in my diary to pop over and watch, but had to work.:(

Hopefully the planned display at Rickmansworth is still on for Saturday evening – right on my doorstep!

they overflew Peterborough I think

P7350 was due to go but crosswind was out of limits for her , both Hurris recovered to CGY about 20.10.

MK356 returned this afternoon and should be at Dux this weekend

In he UK today…how many Hurricanes are flying ?

Six 🙂

I wonder if they have lobbed into Northolt for the night, as daylight might be short for a VFR transit back to Conningsby.

In a Hurricane 😮 More than enough time with sunset at 20.45ish – I saw one of them heading back over Hatfield this evening.

The flight is a Spit down this week, after yesterday’s precautionary landing, so maybe they put up a 2nd Hurricane as a sub.

Not that I would speculate, or anything…;)

Might be connected to the relocation of the statue of Sir Keith Park from Trafalgar Sq to a permanent display at Hendon this week.

The BBMF site says they are doing a flypast of Hendon at 19.30 today not sure of what the occassion is.

That must have been a remarkable site to enjoy !

Lucky you…….. in the right place at the right time. To see two operational Hurricanes at once is a grand site for sure. In he UK today…how many Hurricanes are flying ? Great Museum at Hendon…. one of my favorites !
