Burgers and Bud, manning the museum stand in the exhibition hangar, wall to wall people, lots of people having thier pictures taken in front of our scale Sea Harrier on the ramp, even some :confused: writing down its serial number.
My youngest son having his picture taken as a 7 year old in a Royal Marines rigid raider, now he is a Royal Marine Commando, memories indeed, let alone the aircraft.[/SIZE]

Can we please stop calling this place a museum, it gives all genuine museums a bad name as well as all the hard working people who look after the exhibits, scrapyard yes, museum no

Remember it well, watched it happen standing outside the museum restoration workshop, the veteran in the back was attending a function at the museum, if I remember he also ended up in hospital having a problem with his heart, for the life of me I can’t remember what the event was though.
Only looking at some pictures of the Firefly in happier times tonight, saw the wreckage a few weeks back, very sad, RIP guys

‘seaking 93. I am not surprized to hear that Yeovilton Museum has a Falklands display. But I am going to guess that the relavant aircraft are going to be well hidden behind the ‘information panels’ Yeovilton, like most museums, has many large exhibits which simply can not be appreciated in door ,let alone photographed’

Actually all the aircraft in the exhibition are positioned so that someone with a decent camera and who knows how to use it can get good images, just look at some of the photographs posted on UKAR etc from inside various museums recently to see what I mean.

No Mike they didn’t. This one is operated by the Northern Lights Co. under contract to the Canadian Government for work similar to FRADU, probably hence the visit. However, I thought they were all in Canada and this one seems to have a “Team Apache” insignia on the nose:confused:

As a matter of interest the Canadian Hunter was using ‘Apache’ as a call sign, as for ZZ190 and 191 they are not painted like the FRADU Hawks as they are actually nothing to do with FRADU but are on a contract with BAE Systems involving the PAAMS/T45

‘As FMK.6JOHN points out, it was 3 years ago and the model has since been auctioned at Christies with much Concorde memorabilia to whom and where I would be interested to know. Is it the one at Yeovilton?’

The model at Yeovilton has been there for many years as part of various Concorde exhibitions, at least 21 years to my knowledge

A couple of FAA sqdn were also based there with Barracudas amongst other types
