The Museum’s aircraft are rather hemmed in due the lack of space on site. Photographic is difficult as a result.

Exhibit wise there is some good stuff there, the jewel in the crown being the Sandringham of course.
The ex-Brooklands Sea Vixen is on site and looks in excellent shape.
At the moment the Scimitar, Sea Venom and Swift are not on site.

Well worth a visit if you have a couple of hours spare IMHO (that’s what I did a few weeks ago!).

G-CVIX was down to air test today, originally at midday but it was pushed back to the afternoon. It was outside for the majority of the day, see attached photos.

The de-Havilland Aviation JP also did an airtest today by the way, and the Vampire Preservation Society’s Vampire T.11 was also up and about.

HTH,

[i]Shuttleworth’s[/i] PP was acquired from Kennet Aviation a few years ago. It was in use with Rolls Royce Technical College for a number of years.

I believe 326 was operated out of Hamble in civilian colours, possibly light blue.

I was told a few years ago that NF389 did fly, albeit rarely, until the 1960s when it was grounded by the FAA to provide spares for 326.

Got to agree there.

XF515 is now the only F.6 airworthy in Europe, in fact there are now only two flying anywhere in the world 😮 (The other is XE653 in SA).

In the UK there is now only one jet can do a true blue note – Hunter F6A XF515. Fingers crossed I see it this year also 🙂

Yes it was ferried from Boscombe Down to St Mawgan, where it subsequently flew a few test flights with Keith Hartley at the helm.

Which Squadron colours is the aircraft in?
‘O’ is for Ocean? 802 NAS?
