Does anyone know where the Skyship Gondola went ?

Out of interest what are the oher options to ebay ?

I previously used to list items on ebay but now also dont really bother as the end result is often little for the hassle after the fees at both ends have been taken out.

No, they weren’t. The Mk.21 introduced a slightly redesigned wing, which remained the same size throughout the production run.

Fair point forgot about them. Maybe because they dont look like a proper Spitfire :p

Yes it would have been. Over the years they were sponsored by Cannon and Unipart, they also displayed with no sponsor and in the sponsor title areas on the airframe the name skyhawk or skyhawks.

Sorry if this sounds as though I am speaking out of turn. But when this happened last year forum members mentioned that other museums had secured the nose gear of their Vulcans to the ground and that perhaps it was something you should get sorted asap.

Should this not have been a priority for the museum before this winter and before doing things such as opening engine bays, repainting Meteors, Whirlwinds etc ?

It seems that something to guarantee the long term preservation of the airframe has been ignored.

Also look at it the other way. What would H&S say about going on top of a Vulcan in the snow ? Ive done it in the dry and can vouch that its a long way of the ground.

Hello everyone, it’s my first post here.

Can anyone identify this panel currently on ebay. I’ve looked at hundreds of photos of WWII and early post war aircraft with no joy yet. It’s just under a metre long.

Cheers
Ben

Seems very much like an engine side cowl from an Auster.
