Hi,

Sorry, to me it’s just another glorified transport ‘plane. 😀

Now if they ripped out all the seats, put in a bomb bay then it might be a different kettle of fish. 😀

Hi

Just been to East Fortune this afternoon. Didn’t bother going to see Concorde, saw the one at Duxford last week when we were on holiday. You’ve seen one you’ve seen ’em all.

One hanger was closed for guided tours only. Didn’t have time to wait for the next tour. Don’t recall the hanger numbers but the one with the Twin-Pin was rather poorly lit. I tried to get some photos of the Anson but they didn’t turn out so good. Guess my flash isn’t powerful enough.

The other hanger with the Lightning, Phantom etc, has better lighting. The aircraft are rather crammed together, but I did get permission to cross the barrier and take some close ups of the Sea Venom and Sea Hawk.

I saw the Lightning when it was repainted years ago and it still looks immaculate. They’ve taken the long nose probe off for safety reasons as you actually walk under the nose.

Hopefully in the months to come they will get better organised with the lights and rather cramped conditions.

It looks like the engine is in the fuselage and both props are driven by some sort of chain gear.

Hi,

Try this website.

It tells you why aircraft received their names. Scroll down to RAF.

How old are the shuttles now? Old enough to be considered as a museum piece?

Didn’t Audie Murphy become a star after his time in the army?

It will be to those that don’t see the trailer.
