Why not a Crusader. One american pilot / aviator told me it was the coolest plane he ever flew.

John I did not know it has been critized that heavily this hangar I mean.
I think the display is magnificent. Lotsa cool planes.

I made my diploma of an aviation center in Finland. It was difficult task to make an aviation center. To be honest ( and this is very coincidental and little embarrassing to confess ) I think I saw the pics of that museum somewhere ( Sports Aviation ? ) and subconsiously “copied” it for my diploma. When I had it done and realised it was done before I had to make new one..took another year to complete my studies.

One thing is for sure..I know how to make an aviation hanger now if someone gives a commission.

I think that Aviation Museum extension is really cool..it just doesn’t fit into surroundings very well ( carbuncle in a way I guess ).

Here is my architecture/professional blog btw; http://a4worx.blogspot.com I recently updated with my pics from a London trip in 2008.

This cannot be that hard it is in Duxford !

Häfeli DH-5 of Swiss AF ?

Engine made by locomotive company..:)

It is IL-62 in the manual…a sovietski aeroplanetski.

I think people are not really that interested.In the 1930’s the idea of flying to South Africa was quite novel and the pilots considered hero’s.Now if you want to fly to S.A you go to Heathrow and hop on board.

There were two sailplane freaks from Finland who flew a Stemme motorised glider from Finland down to South Africa. They made a book about it. It is an adventure as such.

As I read Henshaw spent 27 hours in RSA. Not making the Chalkie record any dimmer.
