(Forecast is strong winds and heavy rain!)
Duxford Monday 24th August:
The American Air Museum redevelopment reached another landmark this morning, with the entry of the first aircraft exhibit. As promised by an IWM tweet, F-15A 76-0020 paused en route for photos. Sadly the dull light and heavy rain didn’t do justice to the quality of the Hangar 5 crew’s restoration work.
Next to move will be the Stearman and SPAD replica on Wednesday, though the bad weather may prevent them from staying outside for long.
My thanks to IWM for the photo opportunity, hopefully there will be better weather for the next moves.
The F-15A’s move allowed some different angles on B-25 and P-47:
