    Looks like both were film stars but one in one and one in the other…

    You should have seen the one in “When eight bells toll” – featuring in quite a sizeable section considering was a Royal Navy (schemed at least) Widgeon… Not one you see too often.

    So much for the “experts” :rolleyes:

    Well you know what they say…
    Expert = “Ex” as in former and a “spurt” is a drip under pressure…

    Cracking photos.
    Is it me or do you have a spot on your lens?

    What a cracking piece of work that is! What a labour of love.

    I really like No.2 (The Cessna 150/152 rear). Also the light catching the PA.28 tail is nice too.

    RAFM Hendons Civi Merlin?

    Yes it is – well sort of – it is an EH101 prototype (PP3 I think). She was the civilian passenger demonstrator.
    Her last public flying appearance was apparently Weston-super-Helidays after which she was retired and presented to the RAFM.

    Wyvernfan,

    I have to say I think it should stay at Hendon but they should look at how they can make the most of this.

    I agree with the posts though that say it seems to have lost its way.

    I agree also with Graham that we should do something but what exactly?

    As I said previously I’ve been going for years and I have to say I’d also like to see the RAF launches restored & displayed in better fashion. I remember years ago standing next to it and wondering what the top looks like. It is another arm of the RAF history that seems to be neglected.

    The loss of the Beverley was indeed a bad thing, as is the neglect of the old buildings highlighted above too. When will people act to save such things? Now whilst the details are still accessable and relitively restorable or when they are little more than a crumbling pile and someone asks “What was that?” and any chance of restoration is almost non-existant and prohibitatively expensive?

    I too have been going for many a year and remember the original hall without all the extensions. I used to like the themed areas e.g. Sidney Camm collection and the diaramas/models that gave an impression of the days gone. It doesn’t have that feel any more. Just a hap hazard collection of aircraft.

    I appreciate that you have to rotate “stock” in order to keep the public coming back but it seems to be all too often you read of something being added or removed or shifted around. I think perhaps a major reshuffle once every 5 years would be sufficient.

    The opening times for the Grahame White have been done to death on here but I have to agree that it is disgusting that this important part of the museum and history is treated as such.

    Just my 2d.
