Still there looking rather sorry for itself behind the new MOD Lyneham signs.
I can find a BS for Oxford blue which is the dark colour but not Cambridge blue. I am hoping to get the bands on next week if somebody can identify for the correct colour for me.
The Jet Provost and the Camberra nose are privately owned and will be moving off site very shortly as all the exhibits are suppose to be off site by the end of March.
The Cadet Mk2 has already gone to Keevil and should move to the Glider Herritage collection at Lasham in July.
The green Biplane Replica (Type is escaping me) is going on display at Cosford whilst the Balliol and Defiant replica are going into store.
Very interesting photos which were well worth a look. Again thanks for posting.
Have you tried Light Aero Spares? They certainly sell it but I,m not sure if they do in spray cans.
Great photos. I like the Comet. RIAT was certainly more interesting back then with a greater variety of interesting types.
Here it is as D-8376. There is a photo of it as RAFGGA 537 attached at post 4.

Why have the code letters on the Defiant changed colour? Were they wrong before restoration?
The most recent of all to close, the station sign only came down this month even though the flag was lowered in December for the last time – Lyneham.
The shots you have taken look like it was defibnately worth braving the weather – Thanks for sharing!
No its not the one in the photo. The horse jump is still there, this is an additional one over by the tower. It has its wings on but the undercarriage is retracted. It has arrived this week.
