I like the Buffalo. Another slightly ungainly but oddly good looking aeroplane that we won’t ever see in our skies, but I’d love to see this one in the flesh.

You could try a trip up to Breighton (not sure you can just walk in if you arrive in a car) but fly in is no probs. They have some beautiful old stuff up there. If you still live around Lincoln I’m flying up from Sturgate on Sat to Breighton as long as the runway isn’t waterlogged, I’ll be on the gound for half an hour or so, be glad to give you a ride up there (as long as you buy the bacon butties and pot of tea!)
Next Saturday?!?

H2 South is a working hangar based at a museum BK. although there is public access, please bear in mind TFC have a fantastic collection of aeroplanes. if you want to photograph them properly, you need to hang around with a chap named Dibbs….

Thats what most people are expecting. I personally think it looks great!:)
It’s so shiney it would fit right in at the Tate. But better not reduced to ingots.

That would be a very undesirable circumstance….

But a concise sensible answer is:
With money, and persuasion toward the CAA, most things could fly. But as stated by the former engineers, it would take so much effort. Alot of museum pieces are bereft of their internal fittings and all consumables would HAVE to be replaced, it’s just not a viable option for all but a lucky few. Incidentally, ground running an aircraft is relatively simple, (I ran Lightning XR724 at Binbrook), but would I let anyone even think of flying in an aeroplane without a FULL tear down? No way.
