Haven’t we let you back South of the Border since then Daz? 😀

This comes up at regular intervals. Interesting place though

The photographer forfeited that right as soon as he uploaded them to Facebook.

Which is exactly why I don’t post any photos on here any more. People think they can just help themselves as they apparently become some sort of public property.

Not much. I can think of a broken Yak 11 and the airframe (minus engine) of a Fokker D.VIII replica.

It didn’t. It had a tyre burst and came to rest undamaged. The wheel was removed to recover it.

Not to mention the tented tunnel that visitors have to pass through to get into the main building. It has the appearance of a temporary structure but has been there for 12 years now

Indeed. I think I’ll save my thirty quid. It’s amazing how easily people are parted with their hard-earned as soon as the word ‘Spitfire’ is mentioned.

He has several centuries worth of restorations, and keeps buying more. There must be a hundred unrestored aircraft in his collection. Don’t expect to see the Sunderland, Lancaster or Mosquito fly any time soon

I thought he parked that up at his Florida home a few years back

The museum has effectively closed, one hangar is opened up for a few weeks at a time for tax reasons (you can’t call it a museum and get the resulting tax breaks unless you open to the public for a certain number of days)

The mortal remains of the ex-Strathallen/Charles Church aircraft, smashed in the Woodford hangar collapse, together with some fuselage sections from another aircraft. Possibly enough in total to make up a complete aircraft, something that is very unlikely to ever happen in Weeks’ ownership.

Watch it. It is spectacular.

As I understand it, the only reason the display was pre-announced as being “different” was because Bill Ramsey was to fly it, rather than Kev Rumens.

Nice! I remember seeing parts from it at AJD back in the 90s
