    My favourite aviation museum. Returned there last year with my 13yo son. We were both in WW1 mode and I totally argee with slow’n’low. The only problem I found was a lack of information on the display boards. Would like to have known of their history or which were genuine and which were replica or reproductions. So I suggest you do some homework before you go, so you know what you are looking at.

    If I’ve managed to attach a photo you will be able to see the display board for a DH9 with what I’m sure is a SE5a illustrated

    I thought his name is Ian Blair not John Blair as the Sun says.

    Just back from model show in Hornchurch. On M11, saw a Fokker Eindecker take off from North Weald and on arriving back to Stevenage, Herts, saw a yellow Sea King (it must be lost)

    The man taking the BBMF tour said that the Merlin and Griffon rotated in the same direction, it was just the gearing that made the props rotate in different directions.

    There’s a crop dusting Tiger Moth down the road from you at the Mosqito museum. Not sure if it’s the conversion you want, but here’s a link: http://www.airliners.net/photo/De-Havilland-DH-82A/1055608/&sid=de2bb15e317f495a154520c9026d8935

    While at Dux yesterday (Saturday) noticed she was being dismantled, with prop removed and a team working underneath. She was still on her wheels, but a hour later (at closing time) a 7.5 ton van had backed into the restoration hangar. This wouldn’t be big enough to take the whole ‘plane.

    Surely that T16 has already been created, someone must have put a Packard Merlin in a T9.

    A few years ago there were a few spitfires painted in washable temporary schemes for films and a photo shoot.

    How about temporarily painting AR213 and ‘The Spitfire Society Prototype’ in matching ‘A’ flight and ‘B’ flight colours.

    Of course AR213 could formate with the Hawk

    The IX was in production much earlier than the XVI, but eventually came off the same production line (high-back and low-back). The completed airframe wasn’t designated a IX or XVI until the engine was added, creating construction runs of mixed IX and XVI.

    I’d choose Hendon, but you said you’d then to to FAA at half term.

    I was at Hendon a couple of weeks ago and bother the Sunderland and Graham White Hangar were shut. Not sure why Sunderland was closed off, but GWH is only open on busy days.

    As you are going on an odd day, I’d suggest going to FAA tomorrow and Hendon at half-term, when there’s more chance of GWH being open and they always seem to events for school holidays

    could have been ending 546, eyes must be getting old.

    When my 12 year old saw the red spinning with white back plate, he hoped it was going to be MJ676 FT-J flown my Peter Cunningham, who died last year.
