Seems that now IWM have finished Airspace (well, virtually anyway) they are concentrating on bringing other items out of store or rejigging, now if they can only get the theming sorted (ie Phantom not next to Typhoon, next to Brisfit etc) then it’ll be back to business as usual.

They are staring to theme. Where TFC used to park their flying aeroplanes in 3 Hanger, all now in north side of Hanger 2, is now a Navy line up with the Sea Hawk parked next to the boat.

In the Restoration hanger, as was, is the ‘Storch’, JU-52 and a few assorted other German WWII items.

Hello Brian

The furthest most wings appear disproportionatly larger on some shots, or is it my eyes?

Cheers

Morning John…..

….and no, it’s not your eyes. Nearly all the photos I have of any aeroplane taken at those sort of top side angles seems as though the wing furthest away is larger than the one that is nearer.

The only theory I can come up with, and probably talking utter waffle but it works for me, is that with the nearer wing you are looking along the length of the top side, and because the angle of the wings attached to the fuselage and the angle of the airframe in the photo, the outer wing is more of a plan view, and you can see more of it, hence the optical illusion. If that makes sense?.
