Good shout Daz,
Still amazes me at airshows/museums when small children shout/recognise ‘Spitfire’ then pester parents to by the models in the shop…. :rolleyes:
God Bless Mr Mitchell
the people, the circumstances and what might have been
I was really disappointed when I got to Lincoln and found that the Saracen’s Head no longer existed.
Moggy
Saracens Head???
:confused:
:confused:
Nice pics, Stewart and Septic. Thanks for posting. They seem to have had a good turn-out by the veterans today as well. 🙂
I was hoping to get there myself, but work got in the way again………. 🙁
Does anyone know if they are planning on fitting a target winch before the aircraft is hung up?
i think they are trying to secure a winch???? im sure i read that somewhere
Pretty minor stuff on the Spit unless I’m mistaken. Nav light lenses (now fitted) were about it. As for the white stripes, we could all park in the public car park and cause chaos on busy days, or we can tear up a nice bit of grass and make a staff car park. Which would you prefer? I realise the cars can detract from the ‘ambiance’. I suppose we could all drive Austin 7s and Morris Minors, that might be more historically in keeping. But then petrol being rationed and all…
I’m OK Jack, since I don’t park next to the hangars anyway 🙂
Spitfire, no Cannons (red paint pot lids instead) No stencils either. Not moaning…just odd to roll it out when not quite finished!!!
Car Park…Im sure if IWM really tried you could overcome this… Just because thats how its always been? Bundles of Space else where on site… Up near M11, Hanger 2, North Side… I know its a minor thing but if you work there everyday sometimes you become blind to some of these things…
Just for the record both Spit and Mossie look superb…im not questioning the restoration just timing of the roll out… 🙂
Looks nice…aren’t there some ‘Day Glo’ orange stripes missing???? :confused:
Its a shame the Spit was ‘rolled out’ when it was not quite finished :rolleyes:
Nice to see rows of cars not blocking the hangers…those hangers are historic structures…you don’t see cars parked up in the middle of the tower of London! Mind you i notice some ‘White’ stripes so will probably be an NCP by tomorrow!!! :rolleyes:
Great work by all those involved
