Definately not hangars as there were not this many at Usworth.

Probably just a straight numeric series

Have a look at page 63 on this pdf as this has more details

G-ATBF – Sabre

This was last seen in public at Christie’s auction on 13th August 1984 at Duxford.

Having failed to sell it is unsure where it went as it does not appear to have gone back to Much Hole near Preston

Loch Lomond

The Whirlwind was in fact a Sycamore XG518 which was acquired by the North East Aircraft Museum then passed several years later to the Norfolk and Suffolk Aircraft Museum

The aircaft is a Hawker Hart

History as follows
School of Photography on 13/03/33.
Abingdon Station Flight on 27/11/33
Armstrong Withworth for Repairs 6/8/34
603 Squadron 2/4/35
Undercarriage collapse at Turnhouse 25/3/37

My guess is the photograph was taken when it was with the first unit at Farnborough as it does not have any squadron markings.

There is a set of colour chips at this location which includes BS381C/241 (Dark Green) and BS381C/637 (Medium Sea Grey). RAL9003 should do for the white and RAL9004 for the black. The link also has the RAL charts

The golf balls don’t come from a golf course.

They come from the little darlings that like to practice on the football field

Web Site

The museum used to have a very good web site which was closed down sometime ago at the request of the management committee.

You can still see examples of its quality at
