    Agreed, yesterday even managed to top the Evening display with Snipe and Albatross earlier in the season. Sorry I missed you Adrian and Dragon Rapide, we left late and took forever getting into the car park. Next year maybe!
    Lovely to see XH558 for one last time, but my joint highlight had to be the amazing Fauvel glider. What a magnificently improbable machine!

    I was also very chuffed by two other things. First, finding a pristine copy of “The Dangerous Skies” by A.E. Clouston only a few minutes after hearing it recommended over the Tannoy. Second, hearing the excellent news that Hurricane I R4118 is to be based at OW for the foreseable by its new owner. Couldn’t think of a much better outcome for that wonderful machine. What a thrill it was to examine it at very close quarters yesterday!

    What will Old Warden be able to book next year with equivalent draw for me? The ex-Russell Bf190e and the HAC Hawker Fury would be musts for me, if anyone from Shuttleworth is reading…

    I may or may not be there at 11 wearing an orange woolly jumper – but where’s this steam engine?

    There are some poor pictures of L5343 here:

    Looks like there’s some kind of structural framing directly behind the pilot’s seat back (Pic 2, post #22). Might be worth contacting the RAFM, or Medway Aircraft Restoration Society) to see if they have a better picture? I suspect this might not be what you’re after…

    Amazing progress by the way!

    Myself and Ms. Tin Triangle will be, would certainly be up for a cuppa…

    According to Martin Withers interviewed on Chris Evens Breakfast this morning, the Vulcan is doing a flypast too.

    Also apologies to Tin Triangle for hijacking his thread, but I guess the more positive publicity for a museum the better!

    Not at all! I quite agree.

    Beat me to it!
    I’m perpetually trying to find good wartime interior photos of Stranraer interiors, does anybody have any more?

    One last thing I ought to mention: to me good display boards can really make a museum, and in the Mosquito hangar the (obviously new) display boards were superb. Nice clean design, informative without overloading you with information, and free of the slightly Heath Robinson, cluttered and faded feel you can enocunter in small museums like this. Ten out of ten!

    I Seem To Recall…

    I have a feeling that PA474’s dual controls date back to its days as a PR aircraft in Africa-can anybody confirm this? I definitely remember noticing that it had them in a photo of the cockpit quite a few years ago…

    What a super aircraft that Safir is. Never seen one fly, I must keep a lookout!

    Branding is on the port side only. To be honest, if it means the IWM can carry on operating N3200 as an airworthy piece of magic, I for one am happy to let it pass..
