Solway Aviation Museum …. June 2013.

Well the answer to my question has been sorted, on a different forum, the interesting piece of pipework, and photo in frame, is in fact from possibly the last remaining parts of …. the BLUE STREAK missile project ! see below …

Thanks for posting, Keith. I noticed a ladder upto the cockpit on the Canberra, any up to date interior pics or was she closed? 🙂

JP with no ID ?

Cant say ??

One exhibit I like Trident 1C G-ARPP ??

She is wonderfully significant in the history of the type in the U.K

Absolutely agree which is why I gifted to Solway many years ago when it was at risk of becoming a children’s plaything.

Thanks to Bill Fern from South Yorks for collecting the airframe on a Hiab and taking it to Carlisle as part of a three way swap which resulted in a few other bits moving round to various museums

Be great if the Whirlwind could find a home inside at some stage in her life ! She is wonderfully significant in the history of the type in the U.K

The Whirlwind has been repainted since then and is now resplendent in a ‘midnight blue’ Royal Navy guise . And very nice it looks too !

And yet more ! …

And staying within the ‘cold war era’ if the placard in the museum is correct, I know what this is, but do you ??

And another selection …..
