A new album of photographs has been added to the museum website entitled ‘Changing Face Of The Site’ – this shows the tree removal work that is now well underway in the area of the site near the Hastings, Super Sabre and Mystere.
This work started today in near ideal weather conditions and as suspected most of the trees are diseased and were becoming a danger to the exhibits and the road users along Drove Lane. A fresh planting of trees will be made in the area, these will be both more appropriate to the location and they will be managed correctly to prevent similar ‘micro-climate’ problems in the future.
Once this initial part of the project has been completed more TLC will be lavished on the exhibits – as previously noted work has already started on the under surfaces of the Hastings.
One of the contractors who is undertaking the work remarked that he thought he’d seen the Hastings smile in the warm autumn sunshine that shone onto the aircraft after the first trees had been removed!
