it’s a great shame that the Assault Glider Trust’s collection couldn’t have been kept together. With the ongoing retrenchment, contractorisation and sharing of support and trade training between the three services, it’s not beyond the realms of possiblity that additional hangars would become available at Cosford eventually
Not sure what conclusion to draw – some aircraft, in particular the RAFM Lockheed Ventura have been in deep store at Cosford for decades.
I meant in terms of the liklihood of seeing the complete airframes on display in the not too distant future. I also thought the RAFM storage facilities at Cosford itself are pretty basic – and probably not conducive to the long term storage of a wooden airframe
For those of us who used to inhabit the forests in anoracks and bobble hats Graham Warner will also always be associated with The Chequered Flag Garage and with campaigning a privateer Lancia Stratos
I don’t think ‘The Tank Farm’ (Littlefield’s operation) was ever a public museum as such, but was open to pre-arranged groups for private tours
The gems from the Littlefield Collection are staying with the Collings Foundation with the rest being sold off to fund the development of a museum in Stow
Reading the CWH website -the Lancaster had a replacement wing centre section in 1952 from a combat veteran Lancaster . Out of interest which machine was this and where was it based in the U.K ?
Centre section from KB895, ex farm in Alberta.
