£58k sounds like an awfully tall order for a Tupperware Spitfire……>
You are going to also need a pretty big bedroom and some structural work,
if you want to hang it from your ceiling. :rolleyes:
You’ve certainly made a lovely job of it.

It is of course your choice as to whether you want to subscribe to SKY or not.
This thread was to give a heads up to those who may have not seen this very good film. 🙂
Strewth !, it’s on again today 🙂
Nice pictures !
I fail to see what anyone could do to stop you taking photographs, as long as you were on public land.
Maybe a hangover from the RAF days ?
I would guess the parking restrictions were brought in due to interest when the Vulcan is active ?
People do tend park in silly places at times.
I seem to remember that some of the displayed items were on loan, from an old friend of mine who now runs the Combined Services museum over at Maldon.
Went there a few years ago, very good museum indeed. Must make a return visit soon.
I’ve seen the trailer, which I think is all I want to see.
…….. An impressive departure, and I suspect it may not have even been full power – which really accounts for impressive performance on the 757!
They certainly do go pretty well. I remember seeing one go off at Southend a
few years ago, with what must have been a full fuel load, as it was flying
direct to Canada.
It used less than half of the runway, and went up like the proverbial rocket.
Canada 2000 I seem to recall.
It would be interesting to know the contents of messages Dowding had access to. Unless they have already been published ?
Nice pictures. In the 5th one, it looked as though PX was taking off on the grass 🙂
Whereabouts do you take most of your pictures from ?
I’m hoping they have a conversion planned. You’d think that in flight refuelling would be a major asset to these aircraft.
Perhaps the accountants at the MOD didn’t consider that possibility ? :rolleyes:

As long as someone is there looking after it. You never know when they might be needed again.
Saying that, it’s unlikely the RAF will ever have enough aircraft to re-populate
the airfields which have been closed down.
A dual mode reciever… 1950’s maybe
