I went to the Transport Museum in Gasgow in between Christmas and New Year. I had seen the progress of the restoration at East Fortune’s Festival of Flight, when they opened the restoration hangar, over the last few years. Good to see her complete and back in Glasgow.

Unfortunately they will be moving her to the Art Gallery once it’s refurbished, apparently as an ‘Exhibit of War’ and strung from the ceiling! A few people had posted comments at the museum concerning this, but the Council Museum’s department say they will also use her as a basis to cover the history of aviation in the area. We’ll see!

Couldn’t resist this one.

BBC News site yesterday were reporting an £8m redevelopment of the whole museum, with the Exec providing £2m. One MSP was however questioning the lack of public transport to East Fortune, which is probably one of it’s main problems in terms of attracting visitors.

But, hopefully this might mean the Vulcan and Comet will get indoors!
