    The fairly recent ‘barber shop quartet’ rendition of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody should have been snuffed at birth.

    Cher’s version of ‘Walking in Memphis’ was almost as bad or Madonn’s ‘American Pie’

    Swiss Mustang – you mean this one ? 🙂

    Have included an unprocessed shot from the tunnel just to show how dark it really is.

    Daz,

    that is a ‘Mossie’ (sort of) as apparently only the left wing is genuine with the rest being made to match (sort of) The other ‘mossie’ look-alike is a Tupolev Tu2 ‘Buck’

    yes – it is a stunning museum. There are lines like that in other places but that is the best – not sure of another museum that can boast 19 Migs in a line. I did photograph all the exhibits but there are too many to put on here so have selected some of the more interesting ones.

    Got any pics of N47FK (fifi kate) as I have worked on that aircraft when it was based at Lee on Solent.

    Has the DC2 been repaired yet ?

    N423RS is the ex Greenpeace machine and VP-VPS was the other one. VP is due to go to Ireland but as far as I am aware both are still on the airfield. (VP is hidden behind the portakabin)
