Don’t know if these are any use. First one is the Strathallan Guide Book entry, the second from the auction catalogue.

Is there a Magister there still?
Yes it was till recently at least. Don’t know what will happen now that Sir William (founder of the collection) has passed away.

Has anyone got any photos of Hornet Moth G-ADMT from its (partly dismantled) days at the collection?
Thanks,
Dave

Not a patch on the images ive seen of what it used to look like.
Indeed not – it used to be a wonderful hive of activity. Back in the 70s especially there was always something going on there. I visited regularly with my dad both at weekends when the museum was open and on weekday evenings when we would stand at the roadside seeing what was new – there was always something different – new arrivals for the collection; rare visitors at air display times; regular visitors such as Noralpha G-ATDB, Messenger G-AKBO, Lake Buccaneer G-BBGK to name but a few. And the local newspapers frequently had interesting headlines.
Apologies for quality of some pics but only had a 110 instamatic at that time and made the bad decision to use canvas photo paper!

OO—Place looks same (As in 1985) less planes.
Interesting !! Thanx for posting these ZH. My visit there in 1985 was a right good eye opener of rare stuff,(Inside) remember the Fairey Battle, Beaufighter ?and heck knows what else, I remember enjoying my visit very much and the rotting remains of an Anson Centre Section just outside main Museum door, covered in weeds. 😮
