Newark,Cosford,Doncaster Aeroventure,Elvington,East Kirkby, Coningsby, Manchester Air & Space, East Midland Aeropark to start with. None much more than an hour away. I’m in North Notts and an hour & ten sees me parking up at Duxford or Old Warden.
Beauty with living round here is that you’re not far from everywhere. East Coast Main Line is just over an hour to London

As I work in Donny, Finningley tends to be a subject of conversation, either for the health impact or the cheap flights

Although it didn’t really register, I’m sure somebody was talking about an AWACS at Finningley within the last few days – presumably something to do with systems testing – possibly it’s a mutually convenient arrangement between the RAF and Peel

Cees – I think there was an article in the “other” historical aviation monthly a few years back IIRC – didn’t parts end up a a horse chestnut stand? – could be wrong – might be FP or AE but certainly one of those three

Best place to go for this and every other modelling query is the Hyperscale Forum

http://www.hyperscale.com/

enjoy – but don’t ask about the use of Johnsons Future/Klear as a gloss coat…

or Aztek airbrushes…….

Horsas

At least one of the Bridge Too Far Horsas has been saved – its at Preston Isaac’s Museum at Cobbaton, Devon – well worth a visit.

joining a forum

is a bit like joining a motorway/freeway etc

shoot straight out into the fast lane and you’re likely to end up in pieces

instead spend some time in the slow lane, adjust to your surroundings and the other traffic and then move out into the fast lane safely….. 🙂

looking forward to my first forum event on 23rd March…..

talking of early Duxford (as a museum) what year did the Spit V end up on it’s nose. I well remember being there but was it actually the first airshow to be held there since the take over by IWM – I don’t even think it was open on a daily basis then……

Don’t forget though it was the volunteers who provided the foundations upon which today’s edifice is built (not physically of course..). In the early days permanent staff could probably counted on the fingers of two hands.

That was in the good auld days when the MT section was actually based in the MT yard and everybody congregated in the office at the left end of the block backing on to the A505 – happy days

Great photos! It’s actually a 109G-10 though, I believe!

Thought it was actually a Hisso despite what was suggested

Do you know the date of recovery?

Afraid not – but it was recent enough for somebody to be interested in the colours it was painted…….

Perhaps NZ Dave can help…..

6 miles of tunnels below Tempelhof but I suppose they were cleared – but then perhaps not

and the Schoenfeld story appeared in “The Scotsman”

Jeeps!!!!!!at last

Yes, but….. its actually a Willys Jeep, and even then not the original Rotabuggy.

This is a ‘recreation’ built around a standard jeep.

Although i seem to recall at article in ~the other mag~ about the Rotabuggy project. Anyone know which issue ?

There was also an article by Mark Askew in a recent issue of Jeepworld

I think the driver / pilot got an AFC just for flying it.

Must have been interesting being towed by an 8 litre Bentley, let alone a Whitley – the steering is so, so, woolly compared with today’s cars – I quaver at anything above 45 mph…….

Don’t forget the Aussie tried the concept as well…..
