Some photos from another visit to Montrose a few days back to see the Hawk Major. Wonderful to see this gem out of storage! Looking forward to seeing the progress of its restoration by the dedicated group working at Montrose.
Prior to restoration starting at Strathallan, the Battle carried the US star and bar insignia and a silver-grey paint scheme! These snippets are from “Control Column” magazines and the lower one seems to confirm the other Battle fuselage as P2183. I wonder if the photographer has still got the original shot? 🙂
We really enjoyed our visit to the museum and were blown away by the quality and attention to detail of the work on the Be2. It was a real pleasure chatting to you and we wish you all the best with your next project.
Given its location this one’s probably well-known to you, scotavia, but it was my first ever visit to the Elgin area earlier this year and the local filling station with Buccaneer XW530 displayed there. We were quite amused by the stbd Spey gently windmilling in the breeze!
Yes, I’d noticed the reference to Airwork in post 1 but wondered whether it, the Oxford that is,operated from Perth. Bad wording on my part! It’s getting late lol 🙂
