Still in storage at Solent Sky I believe
And while we’re about it, why don’t we rotate the whole of Duxford airfield through 90 degrees to improve the light for photography, and move the whole of the UK 2,000 miles south in order to improve the weather during the airshow season? :rolleyes:
From the full budget document:
£1m for the Biggin Hill memorial chapel
£1.5m (not the £1.3m initially mentioned) for Stow Maries
£2.5m for RAF Museum Hendon
£2m for the Bristol Aerospace Centre at Filton
Apparently £1.3m is going to Stow Maries, to build hangars. Excellent, excellent news! 🙂
£2.5m for RAF Museum London site too.
Play nicely Mould.
I have worked on Stepen Grey’s fleet, though he never spells his name incorrectly…
Oh, the irony! 😀
It’s not the case that nobody cares, but that the owners are asking an unrealistic price (some $2m apparently) for it. I’ve lost count of the number of historic aircraft that are mouldering away in the backs of hangars and parked outside on airfields because the owners think that they are worth way, way more than their true value.
A shame the fin got chucked away. Sheer bloody vandalism! 😡
Poor old Mortimer Wheeler must be spinning in his grave to have had his name appropriated by such an amateurish bedroom publishing operation.
I hope you have made a similar approach to Kennet, as they have received an unfair lambasting for their part in the recovery in the mainstream media, without all the facts being investigated, IMO
What a poorly-written piece, full of political bias, factual inaccuracies and spelling and grammatical errors. Whoever ‘The Pipeline’ are, I would strongly suggest that they at least engage the services of a proof reader. No wonder that the person who cobbled this together (largely from posts on this forum, it would appear) conveniently neglected to attach their name to it.
Mine cost me a dinner in the Holiday Inn restaurant at Fond du Lac. About $25 IIRC. 🙂
I don’t think it flew quite that late. I saw it in the Edwards AFB Museum about 5 or 6 years ago and assume it is still there
It may be a ‘Boomerang’, but there’s nothing ‘CAC’ about it.
There was an update on their Facebook page a couple of months ago.
From comments there, it appears that failing to reply to emails and messages has become something of a habit with them.
