Concord was rolled out of Hanger 1 this morning in the morning sunshine. The Comet also followed suit. A rather plesent line up of the two HFL silver Spitfires, was aslo on view. Here’s a small selection of pics, I will put more up when I get some time.

Dominatrix- would make a nice name for our G-AIDL…
Also, I guess DominaTRIX would not be out of place painted down the side of a two seat Spitfire :diablo:

It’s been there longer than I have, that’s for sure. As for moving aircraft around for photo ops, I’m afraid that’s just not going to happen outside of the Friends of Duxford shoots, which I’m pretty sure don’t involve movement (perhaps behind barriers, I couldn’t say). IWM try to move things only where necessary; these are museum objects we’re talking about. Then there’s issues of staff time, projects and other ongoing work. In an ideal world they’d all be inside. Best take the ops you’re getting at the moment; Concorde did look rather impressive in the sunlight this morning.
Thanks for confirming where TG528 is, must have not walked far enough last time I visited!
It’s dissappointing to read your comments above Johnathan. As most of the larger aircraft are parked in a row with plenty of hardstanding in front of them, I can’t see it being a really big issue to move barriers and pull them forward one by one. After all, if you charged for this (as per my original question) then the museum would benefit together with the less fortunate on the other side of the world??!! Surely it’s worth doing for this isn’t it?
Or how about one aircraft every weekend throughout the summer? I fully appreciate that the staff there all have jobs to do and these aircraft are museum exhibits but as proved in Darren’s photo’s above all is needed is 3-4 yellow jackets and a qualified tug driver, correct me if I’m wrong but haven’t most of the outside exhibits had their brakes removed for easy towing? So surely it’s not that difficult is it? or is it more a case of good ‘ole UK mentality – it’s easier to say no or provide reasons not to do something?
Apologies for getting my soapbox out but I’m sure it’s something that can be arranged without too much disruption to normal day to day operations.

Now come on, the security for the ARCO/HFL area is getting a little out of hand isn’t it?
Did all this lot come out of the 40′ ISO container????

It flew late yesterday. I think that a fair few forum members will be camped out along the fence this morning poking their lenses at it whilst I’m stuck in an office. Good luck chaps, please post some photos tonight for all of us who missed it.

Think Essex, my boy.
Go east, young man. Go east.
Did it fly from Essex in the end or was it just rebuilt there, at one point Suffolk was the rumour of first flight, mind you I’ve been to sleep since then….

Nice one! Only in these PC times, we’re supposed to call it ‘IAC 161’ nowadays.
That’s right but it it will always be PV202 to me!

It’s already been mentioned….do you need a clue? I’m sure Key Publishing would approve (boom, boom!)
What clue? 😀
Thanks Albert. No need now to look into that pile.
