Vampire undercover

I’d like to find somewhere to keep my Vampire undercover in the South East of England but without paying airfield hanger fees. Does anyone have any suggestions for example museums, farmers with large un-used barns etc?

Carport cover for aircraft

I used a company called three counties buildings when I purchased a carport to house my Scout helicopter front section. The standard carport they do is availiable in whatever size you require with either a flat or pitched roof and can be easily modified to your requirements. Mine measures about 6 x 5 meters and sure beats messing about with covers which tend to take off in the middle of the night!:eek: The web address is http://www.3cb.co.uk/

I was thinking about an agircultural polytunnel though the ‘car port’ probably won’t blow away!

p.s. just saw your excellent site – nice to see one of the Sandtoft machines preserved (saw it a few years back when we were inspecting the B-25)

and she’s an ex CATCS bird – just like ours – XD599!

(yes she is shiny – but Stuart did all the hard work before we bought her from him!)

Hi – have you thought about doing what Wellesbourne Mountford do with theirs – IMO a superb concept – its essentially a ‘car port’ but keeps the worst of the weather off the delicate wooden ‘pod’ – genius!

It’s not airworthy so does’nt have to be at an airfield. I was hoping a museum might have room or a farmer might have an empty barn.
