a plug for one of mine 😉

Arthur,

carry on – the more info about the machines at Monino the better -the guide book is adequate for basic info but does not cover all the aircraft there nor in a much detail as you have provided.
It is just a shame that they are outside and exposed to all weathers.

I was sad to see the Tu124 has suffered fire damage to its fuselage and the cover would have been ineffective at keeping the elements out. There are few Tu124’s around anyway without having a museum example damaged.

russian military is not my main interest and that is my excuse for any errors i make 😉 (and i am sticking to it)

Melvyn,

yes – I am involved with the big winged thing 😉 and am always happy to show visitors (by air or car) round.

The other big winged thing in the hangar (in kit form) is still being worked on but as usual funds are always going to be a problem.

If you want a car visit then please let me know and I am sure a date can be arranged.

Melvyn,

in order to fly into Lee you need to have a reason to visit and proof of indemnity insurance sent to them in advance.

I can provide the reason to visit as I am involved in a restoration project on the airfield and have had 1 or 2 flying visitors in the past.

One of the others involved in the project was based at Lee at the time of its closure in 1996.

Mark

will try to id some of them

hope this helps
