    Couldn’t you constuct a simple open sided shelter and call it a cattle stall? As long as it keeps the rain and snow of the plane(‘s) it’s got to be better than leaving them in the open. Given sufficient overhang, the elements could be contain ….somewhat. Of coarse, you need the money to complete an enterprize of this nature, but……if a local farmer wants to pull down an old barn or shed…….

    Wish I was there to help, but someone has to be here so that the sun-shine isn’t wasted. Temperature currently 25, climbing to 30 degrees. :diablo:

    GOTCHA. Thanks Livewire. I had looked at this complex previously but was a bit too high and looking for the Hunter ie something red. Still can’t find that though. Is it in the same area? The only thing I found that could be it is shown below but it is on the airfield side of the road and partially hidden by trees (click image to enlarge). BTW, it is deceiving as to how large the airfield was in it’s hey day. My impression was that it’s bounderies were all to the right of Moor lane.
    Any chance of getting the aircraft under cover? It would be a pity to see them, and your hard work, ruined by the English weather. On the other hand, you could box them up and send them to me :diablo:. I live in the driest state, in the driest continent on Earth. When we do get rain, it’s warm….usually.
    Have a nice day now, I will.

    G’day Guys, seasonal greetings from down-under. Too hot to go out today haha, so I’ve spent my time trying to find you on GoogleEarth. Searched the airfield but can’t find any indication of your museum/visitor centre or parked aircraft. Now I know the GE is probably about 3 years out of date so, as we ask in our holiday adverts, “Where the bloody hell are you?’

    Keep up the good works. Never worked on a Provost in my RAF career but would love to see it fly one day.

    ……. We need more ametuer pics on here – if you own a pencil, start drawing aeroplanes!

    Sorry, owned a pencil many years ago, but didn’t drawn planes, just fixed ’em. I was more interested in other beauties, weren’t we all :diablo:

    Hi all
    Finally got this one done just in time for xmas.
    Comments as always welcome

    Cheers

    G’day Paul. Now my eyes aren’t what they used to be but a couple of of things that look ‘odd’ to me. The dihederal on the starboard wing looks excessive, and the starboard fin looks too far aft with respect to the port one. Otherwise, I love it, but couldn’t live with it. Sorry, but you did ask.

    BTW, 20 years as a metrologist has made me look out for things that mismatch or are out of position.

    A bit early but as it’s already been mentioned, I wish you all a safe and happy Christmas from ‘Down-under’. God it’s hot here :diablo:

    Hey Guys, glad to hear that the run went off without a hitch. Couldn’t get there myself as it’s just too far to come, but sure would like to hear those Avons again.

    Now I assume, most of you like to stands to the rear of the kite for max experience of sound and light. Just imagine being at the side of 23 or so planes(2 full sqdns), being scrambled at 0200hrs in a mass take-off. The planes were all parked, piloted and plugged into APU’s for about an hour before the message “Scamble, scramble, scramble” was sent. Fire up and go as quick as you can, no ground crew to pull out power cables, just go. About 10 planes on the runway at any time. Ground rocks, ears go numb, heart beat high enough to fly.

    You had to be there.

    G’day Mrs B. Can’t help you with your request as it’s all changed soo much since I lived there back in the early ’70’s. Loved the place then but today….?
    Re Raffles Hotel, played there in a jazz band, and yea, the Singapore Slings were great. Better than what you get these days.
    Any way Mrs. B, enjoy your stay. Oh, one tip. If you go outside the city proper, and decide to eat at a macann stall (road side snacks), be warned, rat tastes like chicken.:eek:

    Interesting thread. I was under the impression that Lightnings weren’t allowed to fly in the UK because they were supersonic. I see now that it’s not that simple. I wonder if they’d be allowed here in Oz, hell, we got the space.:D

    Ex 19, 23 and 74 Sqdns, Lightning Air Radar and later Nav Inst fitter. Don’t ask when, waaay too far back :rolleyes:

    Having to forgo a free trip from Aldinga (just south of Adelaide) to Kangaroo Island (long way south of Adelaide) cause I’m over weight at 99.5kilos. Unfortunately the plane had to carry some truck spare parts as well and they were more important then my freebie. :rolleyes:

    Goverment cover-up

    Hi guys. I guess I’m a believer in alien visitations. there’s just too much info around the world re UFO sightings, even here ‘Down-under’. Now, at times we have trouble believing what our government tells us, and they are quite tame in comparison to yours, so there’s absolutely no way I would believe what your gov’ tells you. Let’s face it, your powers that be are not really part of your government anyway. God only knows how many Secret Services actually run your country but it certainly isn’t your president and his chosen few. BTW, I’ve no axe to grind here.
    I’ve just finished reading Dean Koontz novel “Strangers”. Although fiction, it’s a brilliant insight to the steps that they would take to cover-up events such as Roswell.
