Wheres it gone?

RE: Wheres it gone?

Well I was there the other week and one of the volunteers told me that the Greame White hanger IS being moved to the site and that the control tower is to be saved by the developers………..

RE: Wheres it gone?

No, I’ve not seen that bare patch-perhaps it’s a new repair? Whereabouts is it?

RE: Wheres it gone?

I thought the new buildings going next to the railway line, behind the RAf launch? I would like to see some confirmation that the Graham White hangar wont be bulldozed. and its a crying shame they wont save the tower which would be surely easier than the hangar?

Ever notice the bare metal patch on sugars bomb door?

RE: Wheres it gone?

I beleive the H2S is correct for Sugar-she was around so long, almost starting life as a Manchester and lasting the whole war-that she must have had everything and the kitchen sink fitted at one point!

I never got what they were trying to achieve with the tail-up thing-are we supposed to think that this tightly-hemmed into a building bomber is landing, or what? With it’s bomb doors open and all that, of course…

It’s just not the same without that Beverley outside, either-though I suppose the ‘plastic’ fighters will be moved too, once the new building starts going up.

RE: Wheres it gone?

Dr Fopp admitted he couldnt care less when they scrapped the Beverly so I doubt he would be too upset about a few of our opinions. Should the Lanc have that H2s radome on her?

RE: Wheres it gone?

The port elevator on Sugar was missing when I last saw her in October, too-unusally there was nobody about to ask about it at the time though. I can’t think why it would have had to come off, unless perhaps something got dropped onto it at some point? Anyone know a definite answer to this one?

That poor plane, she looks bloody stupid with her tail up on that plinth-by pure chance I was there the day they craned her up onto it, and I told Dr Fopp as much, but he didn’t seem to interested…shame.
