I recall there was a strong letter about this by Mike Stroud in Aviation News a couple of years ago, strongly denouncing the museum’s draconian attitude when he was physically ejected for carrying a camera! I agree with the majority here – no photos = no visit! It’s like taking a kid to a sweet factory and telling him he can’t have one! Taking photos is all part-and-parcel of recording the visit and notepad and pen is just not the same! 🙁

Nice shots and I am on the verge of going completely digital but can’t give up the habit of taking slides and enjoying the pleasure they give me when they return and I know I haven’t just got a load of pixels that could disappear at ther touch of a ‘delete’ button. Oh well…..maybe I’ll be as brave as you soon!

Although I prefer airline schemes with traditional ‘cheat lines’, this is rather nice.

Ah but “Will it be at Legends” ™

Naah! Probably fly it twice and decide it needs rebuilding, just like P-51C “Princess Elizabeth!” :rolleyes:

Enough of all these museum shots, let’s have more operational Gnat photos.
Here’s a very early shot of a CFS Gnat that my father took at Kemble in August 1964.(yes, behind it are a Meteor T.7, Pembroke and Valetta). The second shot of an Indian Gnat, I took from the open doorway of an RAE Hastings over Farnborough in September 1972, on arrival for the air show.

I also saw this 707 at Lisbon last year and it made me think, ‘I wonder if TAP actually know this was one of theirs’? They have preserved a DC-3 in TAP colours, so perhaps they might take on the 707 also :rolleyes: Here’s a shot I took of it from the window as we taxied in.

hi everyone we started 458 on 19th march for a stactic run we had here running for about 10 mins after we tested all the systems we then engaged reheat three times she sounded awesome. ventral tank still off but will be fitted end of aprill, also we have rubbed down all of port side for respraying.some time in may we will start our high speed thunder runs with dennis brooks in the l/h seat will keep you posted rmc

Will the port side be in the same markings as the starboard?

This is already out of date, as aircraft are moved around in preparation for the big changes at Cosford. The Britannia has been moved ‘up the hill’ outside the BA Museum hangar where the One-Eleven stood and I imagine others are being moved around also.
