The centre section from DP872 has been on the yellow stand for many years, the ‘other’ centre section is from an unknown aircraft. The next open day is on Sunday 24th July from 1200 to 1600

Sorry, forgot to mention the 3 Shars, no idea if they have yet got buyers but they are currently stored outside on Z hardstand, by the water tower. They went back to the hangar for a few days but have since been put back outside.

Off to Yeovilton to shoot some Shars on departure and a trip round the museum, have a fun time stewart.

Better be early, the first ones leave at 0700 and the last at 0800

Will there ever be another open day at the museum?
As for the Shar, I remember the day when it had its accident, are you painting it to look like a FRS1?, or are you deconverting it from a F/A2 to a FRS1?

In reply to your question about ZA195, it came as part of the deal with XZ499, both aircraft had donated items to the active fleet, it was decided as XZ499 had a combat history that should be the one to be preserved as the type example. As for ZA195 going to a certain location in Suffolk, I have no knowledge of that, I am trying to get our Curator of Aircraft(the Corsair King) to join the forum. At least then he could exchange thoughts with a certain gentleman who keeps an aircraft in a hangar next to the A303 up the road from VL. He is the person who could answer many of the questions about the aircraft at FAAM that crop up from time to time on the forum.

Thanks to Septic for the kind words about FAAM and the great pictures, until Easter we are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays(half term excepted) but open the other 5 days from 1000 until 1630. From Easter until the end of October we will be open 7 days a week from 1000 to 1730. On February 12th we hold what has now become one of the largest one day model shows in the SW of England, a great day out for everyone(other than photographers who should heed the advice above).
