Firstly, my mate Rich would kill me dead if I didn’t include the VC-10
Out on the field, Tigers and Dragons were at play…





Finally, what such museums are all about for me

Memorial.
A great day out, if there’s anything specific anyone wants pictures of just ask, I’ve probably got them!
The finest Piston fighter ever made greeted me as I walked in
The Skyraider’s still present

I can’t fail to be amazed that it got back with only this much outer wing
In other news, the P-47 looks well. Nearly there chaps

Next stop, the superhangar
Hastings
Jag
Oxford
Stringbag
Sunderland
It’s a long long way from Ceylon
Endangered inmates…
Next, the great outdoors (no buses!)
Thought I’d get a few shots in here and try to include some machines which, for one reason or another get overlooked frequently
The 109. The MU are a bit slow recovering this one!
Needing some tlc nowadays
And the Hunter could do with a dusting
Nice to see a ‘stang again
Its grown wheels since my last visit!
Navy corner

Lovely to see the Blenheim progressing
Outside, the Cat basked in the sun
Next, the fighter’s lair…
a certain individual who clearly isn’t fit to be custodian of a sizeable part of this country’s aviation heritage:mad:

That’s mad yet amazing! And I believe Rich has just ‘outed’ himself. No more bus taunts coming my way for a while then… :p

displeased,I had to leave at 5 on sunday so missed the Spits! Will share some of my shots of the day when I’ve got the laptop running again.
Jeebus! I’m not at all envious of your trip, oh no… 🙂
The man is a legend, and I love the shot of him taking a photo of you taking a photo of him! Thanks for sharing.
Yes I’ll try and make sure I bring it with me to Newark, it will be a pretty full van too with some heavy lumps inc a Bucc main wheel besides the usual items.
Excellent! And if the Bucc mainwheel has a decent tyre on it it could be of interest to Ollie (Victor Sim) for one of the Brunty Buccs…
XL160 PROBED!
Speaking of which, for the first time since we acquired her from RAF Barnham in 1994, Victor XL160 now has a probe back on its roof with all fittings and underfairing – a big thank you to Flixton’s multi-talented staff and the great assistance of the Tornado Maintenance School at RAF Marham, without whom this could not have taken place :rolleyes:
Excellent again! Pics please. Well done guys 🙂
Does anyone know if the Hastings outerwings are still on a kart outside at Elvington?
One is, on a Queen Mary trailer. I don’t know about any other one.
Thankyou for passing on this sad news Scott.
