Spitfires unlikely. Lincoln a distinct possibility.

Having seen the state that the Argentinian example is in ( actually quite good :p ) It would be great to see a decent example appear from the ground!

A couple of pictures I took – including a very nice nest or two in bomb bay – can be found at the bottom of:

What is the difference between a scrapyard and a museum… and visa-versa?

Chinese National Airforce Museum, north of Beijing, November 2005. I have lots more but here’s two for a starters. 🙂

There’s something similar hanging from the room of a fast food restaurant at the airport in Auckland… I’ll try and find the photo.. 🙂

Skippyscage,

I asked the same question last year and Mark 12 kindly posted the address and phone number, plus many more photos. I followed this up with a comment about getting there and how best to do it – but i don’t have time to search for it now – sorry.

Most taxi drivers will try and take you to the big Airforce HQ off the massive round-about in the centre of Lima – this is not the place to go… unless you have to make the appointment in person. If you can’t speak Spanish, get your hotel to try and do this for you.

Also, be careful which taxi you take in Lima – get your hotel/ hostel to book you one – safer.

With regards other aircraft.. you can try the airbase outside Ariquipa, there is a Mig on a pole, I have a photo somewhere – took it standing on the roof of a bus to see over the wall! there is also supposed to be a Canberra or 2 hiding in public parks and the like. Again, I think the info is on the June 2005 thread.

Buena Suerte! 🙂

Let’s be honest fellas… the PR9 has been a workhorse, and due to it’s nature, has not spent much time in the UK in recent years. We’re hardly used to seeing them flying around the skies of the UK!

I suspect we’ll see at lot more of them once they are de-mobbed if they are kept flying… unless some one like Thundercity in S.A. or our American cousins take them on holiday.

My concern would be over how much is left once they take the cameras etc out!

🙂

been there… done that

The taxi ride into the fields to be met by a strange mountain surrounded by rusting migs. Mixed in with the ever present language barrier it’s a truely unique aviation experience

Any pictures of the B29 copy? I see if I can put some of mine up later. 🙂

I suspect the B25 might make an appearance at the Red Bull Air Race event at Longleat… It made a few flypasts at the Barcelona event.. I’ll try to find a few photos.
🙂

Is it from the flying car in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang… 😉
