There are several large airfields closing, even Army sites too, that could be used to house an exhibition of large aircraft.

I had forgotten just how small Concorde’s wingspan was!

I am very jealous of this, in 1993 aged 15 I wrote to Boscombe Down and asked if I could perform a sponsored aerobatic in a Harvard (I hoped for FT375) to raise money for the Wiltshire Air Ambulance. Unfortunately my request was denied. :’-(

This afternoon I saw a pair of F15s (almost certainly) flying over Salisbury at 2-4000ft. They came in heading east and turned to fly north probably to Boscombe Down. Does anybody have any info on them?

A couple of pictures below of Auster XP281 at Duxford circa 1974/1975

Auster AOP9 XR269 was also present in late 1974. She was subsequently restored to flying condition as G-BDXY but was destroyed by fire following a forced landing on the 1/9/91

Are either of these ex Wallop aircraft?
