When they were originally built the airfields were to hold 3 squadrons and each squadron had their own hangar or ‘Coupled General Service Shed’ and the single span ‘Shed’ was a ‘Repair Hangar’ where the squadron aircraft were fixed and serviced.

If Duxford want more space, they could always rebuild the single Belfast hangar blown up in the Battle of Britain film
You’ll have Bob complaining next that it’s blocking his view when he eats at Wing Co Joe’s π

What’s in the container then?……

Displayed at Old Warden today. Alright I suppose :rolleyes: but nicely timed for about the only time the sun managed to peek through the clouds.
Best visual gag of the day – Stu Goldspink sporting a pony tail π

Hmmm, maybe my vision was affected by the deliciousness that was the “Duxford Sausage Roll”, but I read it that “338” was produced during the war. Ah well, must go back and read it again before lunch!

From the IWM Info sheet for the sealed bids.
No details of this aircraftβs military service are known. It was constructed post-war for use by the French Air Force. Stampings on the airframe indicate that for the most part the aircraft was built in 1949.

The Morane-Sauliner Aircraft Factory at Puteaux, France, was taken over in 1942 for the production of the Fieseler Fi.156 Storch(Stork). After the war production continued with the aircraft being known as the MS-500 Criquet and fitted with various engine combinations.
Serial No. 338, the one at Duxford and built post war, was a MS-502 model with a 230hp Salmson 9AB radial engine. After it arrived at Duxford in 1983 the Salmson radial engine was replaced with a German Argus AS10 engine.

As has been mentioned above Pete Kynsey flew the T.F.C. T.20 Sea Fury, twice, with some very nice aerobatics thrown in both times as well. One of the silver Classic Wings Tiger Moths started doing a spot of aerobatics over the airfield when I arrived and the Blue Harvard did some more during the afternoon. The ARCo/HFL T9 Spitfire and Harvard ‘Taz’ took part in a bit of an photoshoot which continued with the T9 on the ground afterwards and ‘Spitfire Formation’ drew the biggest crowd as the Mk1/T9 with the BoB Buchon and HAC Hurricane flew off to Shoreham but not without an air to air portrait first with a Piper Aztec photo-ship.

Hope it wasn’t too serious:( The modern twin was a King Air.
No it wasn’t π

I’ve used my monopod like this but with a slightly smaller lens.

Brian
they will look splendid in the Graham White hanger as well.
More likely in the dark in the Bomber Command Hall behind some roof supports.:rolleyes:
