Courtesy of the Training & Development Flight at RAF Wyton a group of us from Wyton/Brampton/Henlow had a visit to the Royal Air Force Museum Reserve Collection at MoD Stafford on Thursday 30 Jul. We split into 2 groups with the Manager and Curator taking us around for a very informative visit. A tour apparently last about 3 hours but we had a 2 hour jog around as we were going to the National Memorial Arboretum in the afternoon.

More bits of the Mickle Fell Stirling seen in 1973. I presume these are among the recovered bits at Stafford.

What an amazing place. I wonder what else in buried in its depths? Thanks for sharing the photographs. I never knew there was such large pieces on Stirling and Whitley left.

That’s a large section of Whitley wing.
What aircraft are the two large wing leading edges visible in the background of the first picture from?
