    closure of Bournemouth Aviation Museum

    I am not sure what is happening about the museum, but a Jet Provost flew low over my house in Blandford Dorset today 05/02 could it have been from Bournemouth?

    Thanks for the picture, that is the one, I was there again today dropping passengers off in my taxi and HA-TAD was parked a tad closer this time(near the main road!)

    Saab SF 340 at Bournemouth

    I was there again today and the same aircraft was still there
    The Hungarian flag was to the left of the reg which made it look longer
    My bins are 8×30 but it looked like HA-YAD or LAD
    Any help gladly received
    Regards John

    Canberra variant queries UK

    Does anyone remember XH132 the Shorts SC9 variant which was based at Hatfield? I saw it taxi out and take off many times back in the late 60s early 70s, at that time it was painted white.
    All that is left now is the nose section, a pity since it was a unique version and the only one. I regret not taking a picture of it all those years ago, but there are pictures on airliners.net of it after its repaint after leaving EGTH around 1972.

    At Kemble Open Day on 10/09/06 there was a Mustang there serial 414450 marked ~Old Krow which is registered to the Scandinavian Historic Flight who Delta have teamed up with, so it must be the one.

    Excellent Lightning video clip

    Thanks for that enjoyed it a lot
    It was such a long time ago, I just wish I could go to South Africa sometime.
    Can anyone say how many refuelling stops a Lightning would have to make flying from Cape Town to UK, just as a matter of interest
