    just come back from the airport, the cockpit section has now been removed. all that’s left now is the centre section.i was told that it was to be taken to bits for transportation,then at a later date it could be rebuilt. not a chance now its been chopped.

    Last pictures of the herald.

    I was at the airport on monday afternoon and saw the sad sight of the herald
    being cut up.what i can tell you is that every effot was made to save the aircraft.when the airport said you can’t move the aircraft across the airfield.
    we were left with only other museums stepping in to save the aircraft,only if the museum paid for delivery.this was not an option so to cover the cost of moving the rest of the museum to the new site the herald would be used as payment.its sad for the herald but it’s saving the rest of the aircraft.sorry the pictures are poor,i only had my mobile on me.

    A Sad Day

    Its a sad day at bournemouth aviation museum, we have been told
    by the airport that we must be out of the hanger by the end of april.
    so we are busy getting all of the exibits packed up ready to move somewhere.
    two of the aircraft have gone so far, with the rest to follow soon.
    we will keep up the hunt to find a new home.
    some attached pictures of how the museum use to look.

    pembroke paint

    Were they able to paint over the existing paint (after a lot of prepping I imagine) or was it stripped to bare metal?

    We where lucky and managed to flatten the paint down to key the new
    paint, which went on really well. and looks fantastic,and a bonus the aircraft
    now cruises 5 knts faster.:) pembroke team.
