PV2, whats the reason for the question?

Just to add another story to this thread, the Pucara that NEAM have on loan from FAAM has been said to be haunted, a visitor and a former member of staff both say they have seen a ghostly figure in the cockpit when it was a part of the Falklands exhibition in Hall 1 at Yeovilton some years ago.

Excellent idea to allow a reduced price for the non flyers, the opertunity to see the Museum Seafire outside is most welcome news. But would it be too much to ask that FAA museum opens the Cobham Hall reserve collection on the same day? Don’t get me wrong I am not asking for a ‘free visit’ but faced with a 500 mile round trip it would make the jounery all the more worth while. I managed a visit to the museum a couple of years ago whilst on a family holiday in the area, but I simply can not afford this sort jounery and still not get to see a large part of a museums collection. Any Forum members go contacts with FAA Museum?

This event is a RNHF run day, with some input from the FAAM, provision of facilities etc, as for Cobham Hall, unless anything changes there are no plans to open Cobham Hall on the day, we already open it for 3 days a year plus visits on request from groups etc, the next open day is Thursday October 26th during half term.

Brilliant film, I recorded it off tv many years ago and watch it from time to time, those B36s flying must have been quite a sight, just a bit too young to have seen them in the flesh when they were active, lucky enough to have seen them in a museum though.

The Shars in store at Shawbury are held awaiting possible sale to a third party government, who visited VL just before 801NAS stood down to view the airframes. If they decide not to buy them then who knows, I guess the disposals agency will sell them to the highest bidder to recoup some of our tax money. ZH809 unless someone has already posted the information is at SFDO at RNAS Culdrose as a GIA

Well done Mark, great pictures, what a formation indeed, had a nice display over Yeovilton this afternoon from the Sea Fury, I guess on its return from OW.

Agreed the Concorde Hall was put up especially for 002. However it is a hanger modifed somewhat to allow daylight in

What daylight?

As I mentioned above the glass went 6 years ago

Remember also the ‘Concorde Hall’ at Yeovilton…another working space made into a display area.

The Concorde Hall at Yeovilton was never a working space, it was purpose built to house 002
