    Its a good job talented people can bring back an aircraft from extinction and what a brilliant job they are doing .My father passed away this january ex RAF.He has a shed full of old bolts and nuts not necessarily to do with aircraft but the are old english makes in there .The only problem is its in Staffordshire quite a way from Yeovil.

    Just to let you know i managed to get a visit in at the museum .The family stayed in the car but I loved it .The staff were so enthusiastic and it looks small scale ,saw the Shackleton ( in bits).First time in a Varsity,havent seen the Harrier before some renovation work going on with the Sea Hawk.I then got talking to the guide who told me where the Lightning came from and i was able to tell him i had seen it years ago travelling down M6,which then led onto another Business that was going on in the airfield,wow this gave me a different view of the museum and its hopes for the future,could of listened to him all day ,and i have to say it lifted my spirits for the preservation world.
