I would like to declare open house for anyone to have a go. 🙂

Good report and a great museum. I remember visiting it from its earliest days and have enjoyed the experience every time. My only gripe is that, as with many naval aircraft collections, no doubt because space is often at a premium the vast majority of aircraft are displayed with wings or rotors folded. This hides much of each airframe from ready view and makes photography very awkward too which is a shame when they have taken so much trouble to conserve the aircraft.

Not really a barn find as this is a very well known stored collection. Topic is already being discussed on this Forum here:

Looks more like an end!
Spot on Moze, over to you!

I thought the rule concerned said: “Open house” automatically takes effect if the one with the right to post the next picture fails to do so 48 hours after confirmation by the previous poster. “
It’s not even 48 hrs yet since topspeed answered, so why the hassle – I am away from home today and so unable to get to my files to immediately offer one up, but if you are that eager please just go ahead – I’ve no wish to spoil your fun.

Hello “topspeed” could you please confirm if I was right?

Indeed it was dismantled and no longer exists. As a matter of interest, during at least one of the flying display events Little Rissington the Harvard was moved into a hangar for the day.

For those of s not familiar with your project it would be helpful if you could give a little background about what you are constructing.

The maker’s company name was the same as the surname of a famous American actor …no connection though.
Do they still allow people to set up picnic camps on the flightline, deck chairs, blankets, windbreaks etc ?
How about the use of stepladders ?
Seems so, unfortunately – at the D-Day show large chunks of the crowd-line were taken up by windbreaks driven into the ground with folk staking out large areas to deny others from encroaching. In some cases the area involved was massive considering the number of folk within – very selfish behaviour.
Just for clarity (as this thread is about Old Warden), the Bristol Scout mentioned in #80 is one being built to fly and is not the privately owned static example already in situ at Old Warden. Great to hear that an example will grace the skies again.
