Great news.

Well I for one am not looking forward to it. I read somewhere that they were planning to change the name of Gibson’s dog, ‘Nigger’, or omitting it entirely to avoid offending modern sensibilities.

If they change details like that, no matter how small, it’s no longer history. If you’re simply going for ratings, why not swap the Lancs for Eurofighters?

Do it right or don’t do it at all, that’s my view. Anything less would be a disservice not only to 617 Squadron but Bomber Command as a whole.

Apologies for the rant, but I’m touchy about things like this.

Greetings,

As an avid PC pilot, I couldn’t help but post my own screenshot. I’m poor so I use FS ’02. Donations accepted. 😉

An F106 of 5FIS comes in hot. She’s certainly faster than my usual bird, an F-27 friendship, but then its not everyday you get your hands on a classic…

6 million? Money well spent if you ask me. Beautiful photos.

483 right. Misread the faded paint.

It’s good to see rare types like the Scimitar and Whirlwind preserved. While I echo the sentiments of others and say that the museum should remain focused and take baby steps, I wish all parties involved the best of luck in this most worthy endeavour.

Peter,those slides were taken 30 years ago:) Here’s another slide I’ve scanned: XH483 Vulcan B.1A at the Manston Fire School in 1975

Sad to see them like that. I can deal with with scrap cars and landfills but shots like that tear the heart. The care that went into these machines; they weren’t for mass consumption. Lady’s like 463 et al deserved a better end…
