At least I think so. This picture is from a collection of shuttleworth pics I recently bought. If this is taken at the same event I could now have a date for my pics
Merlin70. On my last it visit rained all day so I spent most of my visit in or under the Vulcan (wich was not so bad). Have they completed the work on jet pipes.

I have just been reading about Buccaneers taking part in Red Flag exercises ( you can keep your putnams. my latest book cost 20p in a charity shop). Anyway the book mentions a desert camoflage scheme but only shows a black and white picture. Does anybody have a colour pic of this scheme.
No more pics at the moment but I maybe I can get some soon ( I have promised to go with my dad). You could always ask. Their web site has all contact details. I cant quite remember it now but thats what google is for I suppose.
Yes it is a Lanc bombdoor. They also have a lot other wwll aircraft parts in the main hanger, B17,Spitfire ect. The aircraft parts are all in individual displays with lots of information and history.
They also have a Harvard restoration project. Wich I did take pics of but they seem to have dissapeared with out trace.
I just think with a little ( or maybe a lot) of effort it could be restored to static. Would be grate for a small museum that does not have a lot of money but needs an aircraft to draw people in. Or it could be used by a technical college to study build techniques or even how to treat corrosion. If I had the money I know I would at least be intrested.
Go ahead shoot me down in flames I dont care. Maybe I`m just as daft as the guy at Blackpool.
Maybe in years to come, when the next generations veiw the Lightning like this generation veiw the Spitfire. People will be digging on this spot looking for a data plate for there new build Lightning 🙂
I am suprised nobody has mentioned the Lightning wich is also on that link. Its very sad.
Is it that bad. With a few new panels and a lick of paint It could look ok.
They get upset if you call it a Dakota! Did not go in today but have been in before. I think it had quite a few instruments in but no VIP interior. The aircraft was once fiited with bunk beds, galley, bar ect. It was used by Ford in Argentina, and some people say it was the most luxurious DC 3 ever made.
Last time I looked inside it did have some para seats wich they wont part with for love nor money.
The plan is to restore it as a BOAC aircraft wich flew from RAF Doncaster.
