RAF CREDENHILL
RAF Credenhill,, situated North West of Hereford, opened and housed No: 11 School of Technical Training in June 1940. It then supported at various times the RAF Secretarial Branch, the RAF Equipment Officers School, No: 1 School of General Service Training, the RAF School of Administrative Training and until 1985, No: 1 School of Catering until that moved to Aldershot. From March 1974 until 1982 it housed the WRAF School of Recruit Training, then in 1983 the camp saw the formation of the Youth Training Squadron (YTS). In all the time RAF Credenhill had been used, and despite the presence of its hangers, it has never housed an airstrip. In 1994 the YTS closed and the Army bought the site. After 22 SAS Regiment had obtained funding to develop the site, extensive rebuilding which started in 1997 took place. 22 SAS finally moved into Credenhill in May 1999.

For GASML
There are actually two Luton’s
A Minor G-AFUG which was orginally built by Mr Brown in Stanley during the second world war. It was restored by Ken Fern and painted with the period registration G-AFUG although it was never registered.
There is also a Major built in Peterlee by Peter Jobes but not finished before being donated to the museum.
Sea Fury
The Sea Fury WJ288 was purchased from the museum by Patrick Luscombe and based at Lympe for restoration. A Fiat G-46 (MM53211) was also at Lympe. They were to be operated as the British Air Reserve along the lines of the Confederate Air Force.
The Sea Fury became G-SALY on 12.7.83 but was sold to Warbirds of Great Britain (Doug Arnold) in 1988.
The aircraft is airworthy in the USA.
There are photographs of the Lancaster/Lincoln remains that are currently at Sandtoft on the scrapyard thread.
There was also a detailed thread on the Historic Aircraft Museum and the disposal of the aircraft running a couple of months ago called 1980s Southend which has much detail
Southend Museum
The Historic Aircraft Museum as it was opened in 1971.
Many of the exhibits canme from the former British Historic Aircraft Museum which started at Biggin Hill in 1966. The BHAM bought a number of interesting aircraft from 1966 to 1967 including the J29, Sea Fury, Sea Hawk, DHA Drover and Mitchell.
The Mitchell was apprently purchased for £100 after spending a number of years at Biggin Hill after use on the films War Lover and 633 Squadron.
