Like the majority of posters I would prefer to see the Wellington painted in the camo that it wore when it left the factory, and indeed no unit markings would be historically correct for this machine which did not see frontline service.
Silver training colours have little or no relevence when the purpose of this airframe is to educate and inspire the museum visitors, the majority of whom will be children. Lets hope authenticity prevails with the exterior restored to as built ex-factory camo!

Duxford´s Mosquito and Hendons TT5 are absolutely magnificent restored in silver, but the Wellington is unique outside of Brooklands and has more important history to represent

Yes please QP to the serial numbers of all of your photos shown here, there will be hundreds of folks looking at them in the coming months and serials make connections with memories!
Great stuff to see, this is a thread which will last forever so its great to keep a steady flow of pix rather than posting all at once because most of us enjoy visiting the forum daily for 30-60 minutes:)

Fascinating photo of CW-L in India – with the 3 bladed prop it looks like it may be a bitsa although being displayed like this makes me wonder if this plane had a significant war record perhaps from Burma to justify its selection for this position of honour? Does Mark 12 know the identity of this Spit and how long it survived?

Are there any remnants of this Sea Hornet in Iceland or was it burned?
Is there a picture to share with the forum?

I know a girl who is one of those paid professional in-the-street-sign-up-for-monthly-donations and she is paid £11 per hour before tax to get Greenpeace a steady income!
Interesting to read that its HLF that has imposed the current bloated admin payroll on XH558. As more and more potential doners find out that their money is all being spent paying for Pleming and co instead of paying for needed work on XH558 their desire to donate will evaporate just like mine has……………

Excellent photos, I am very grateful that they have survived the passage of time and that somebody wanted to share them:). I wonder if any of the Mosquitos backing onto the road are amongst the survivors today…..at least one has a TE xxx serial instead of NZxxxx like 2 survivors
