P-51/Ferocious Frankie took advantage of the late winter warm weather and sunshine, for a very brief period, while Spitfire XIV/MV268 was moved into hangar 3 and its stable mate, P-51/Miss Velma was in hangar 2 receiving a bit of TLC. The aircraft in AirSpace have been undergoing a bit of early spring cleaning all week as the dust and cobwebs have been brushed and hovered away. Quiet outside flying wise although there was a visiting Chipmunk from Old Warden and an S-76C from Stansted doing circuits as I left. In the order taken.

Apart from the Sunderland, all the aircraft were moved out of the former Battle of Britain Hall last Thursday. The Bolingbroke IV, Stuka and He.111 fuselages are stored temporarily in Milestones and the Bf.110 fuselage is snuggled up against the Lancaster rear fuselage. Due to major landscaping works about to take place, there is limited parking at the site. There is a high fenced corridor from the road entrance to the hard car park outside Milestones and the gravel car park outside the Grahame-White hangar. If going by car, get there for doors open for a decent parking space. Photos in the order taken.

Our staff and contractors have been very busy today, moving the last of the aircraft out of Hangar 1, ready for its transformation as part of our Centenary Plan. Here the Ju-88 is lifted onto a truck ready for its move up to RAFM Cosford.
