Hardly airworthy, it has been parked for several years, robbed for spares, and had been modified to a configuration that was never approved for service.
Is that the one used for the glass cockpit fiasco?
A couple of new additions of note in the last fortnight, ex-Royal Navy Chipmunk G-CIGE, formerly WK634 and last registered in the US, and Broussard G-CIGH last registered in France.
No, that one is in New Zealand being restored.
1. The café
In general, art museums have very good ones. Aircraft museums generally vary from poor to appalling to non-existent
I go to a lot of art museums as it is a particular interest of my wife’s. I’m sorry to say that I generally remember the visit by the quality of the café.
It may also be worth dropping TVAL in New Zealand a line, as they operate Renault V8s in some of their fleet of B.E.2s

If someone is injured or worse, whilst legally on your property, they or their next of kin, if relevant, can sue you for damages.
Maybe they can. But there is still no legal requirement whatsoever to carry insurance against this. I’m curious as to who you think is mandating this requirement you seem adamant is in place
Of course ,
but they aren´t shure how to paint the vertical stabilizer.:rolleyes:
If you mean the Germans, I would suggest ‘World Cup Winners 2014’. They had a Phantom at Waddington Air Show bearing a similar message a few years back, unfortunately by the Sunday afternoon they had a guy up there with a brush and a pot of paint painting the message out! 🙂
They put out a similar message every year.
It doesn’t seem to deter the freeloaders though.
I trust that those who chose Legends over the D-Day show due to the cheaper prices will spend the £2.85 they save wisely. A half of Spitfire at the bar, perhaps?
…….big mark up !
Your calculation shows that you pay about £17 more per head on a day with a full airshow and the museum to visit than you do on a normal day with no airshow. Are you genuinely surprised at this revelation?
I wonder how they faked all those flights they made from Huffman Prairie Flying Field in 1904-5? 🙂
Amarok,
The next time I want to watch television, please can I peer through your window and watch yours instead? I will not, naturally, expect to be asked to contribute towards the cost of the television or the electricity consumed.
Ben does a great job of commentary at the other Duxford shows too, much better than the oft-cringeworthy nonsense spouted at several other shows I’ve been to recently.
They do seem to be using rather a lot of photographs of other peoples’ restorations to advertise their services.
