    Robbo,

    I have no idea if the cleaners lights were on or not! In the interests of presenting a fair case, attached is an image of the Me110 with as little ambient lighting as I could muster.

    Still loooks OK to me.

    When i visited in 2006… i think this illustrates the gloom oft referred to 😀

    No one would pay to get in nowadays though seeing as there’s a fair chance 50% of the museum will be closed. Catch 22!

    pardon?!

    Dismantle EVERYTHING and make a new museum in the center of London – enlarged to take in civil airliners (Heathrow’s Concorde and Duxford’s VC10, etc). 😀 :diablo:

    ooooh i like your idea 😉 id rather it be out of london (dont like that place really and most of it isnt this country anyway ….

    …….It no longer has the live feel…. Richard

    I couldnt agree with you more, this has been my major feeling about the place since i last went there, i wouldnt want to go again, just because there is no life there

    Bubbles – I think it would say more about the project – this is the second time of crisis – I fear that unless there is some serious changes at TVOC the third appeal can only be a matter of time.

    I totally agree with you there david, not only is it needed, but I think that a lot of people expect some big changes too

    IIRC the Vulcan was “borrowed” from Halton and immersed in a tank on the James Bond set at Pinewood. If you look closely you will see that the vertical tail is missing. I’m sure somebody knows the serial.

    love the idea of borrowing one

    “…john im just popping down to the local RAF store to borrow a vulcan for the afternoon…”

    “wot the bl00dy ell for?!”

    “i need it for the groceries, you know what its like carrying the pork back from the butchers”

    😀

    Was wathcing the Bond movie ‘Thunderball’ on telly last night,and it prompted a few queeries.
    Firstly,does anyone know anything about the Flying Fortress which appears in the final scene of the film?It appeared to have some sort of strange contraption on the nose,was this added for the movie or is there a more practical reason?Where is this Fort now?
    Secondly,I was noticing that the underwater close-ups of the Vulcon nose looked very realistic.Presumably this was a real Vulcan nose submerged for the film.Anyone know how and where this was done?

    there is an article in a recent flypast about the fulton skyhook, and to do with two rather “shady” CIA B17’s, makes for a cracking read

    is it really a firebrand?
