    The Carpetbagger Museum at Harrington in Northants isn’t keen on photographs being taken – I was told it was due to security concerns (as mentioned above).

    thats something i’d heard before, especially with small museums where items may’ve been lent or donated by families of airmen they probably feel a special responsibility for the exhibits..

    Like many, it was quite trek to get there – knackered by the time I got home – but well worth it. The visit to East Kirkby was superb as was the evening with the BBMF – thanks guys for a superb visit. It was great to meet some more members of the forum (thanks for your company throughout the day) and afternoon tea at the Petwood Hotel was rather nice! Thanks also to Guzzineil for his services as Tour Guide! I won’t bother to post any of my pictures as undoubtedly there will be far superior efforts soon, judging by the hardware on display!

    Sounds like the BBMF put on a good evening for you all..
    enjoyed meeting up for the first half of the day and showing off what perhaps I now take take for granted.. next time hopefully more will be ‘open’! 😀 and next time maybe i’ll hire a minibus rather than try to keep a 7 car convoy together! 😀
