    I think it’s some sort of Blackburn aircraft but will have to check overnight. It looks like one of their early types.

    Managed to look in the tower at Finmere a few years back.
    Full of crud downstairs although we were able to walk around. Quite good nick considering. Tiles and paint still on walls. Upstairs all internal walls have been removed but where they were is visible. Roof was leaking in a few spots resulting in some largish puddles on the floor.
    In the woods were several buildings of sorts mostly bunker types although we didn’t look in the woods as we were wrong side of the fence.

    I too love looking around these old buildings… Something you just can’t quite put your finger on about doing it.

    Flood.
    The Wessex 60 is just outside the back door of the building. The stored airframes are further away adjacent to the helipad.

    I was lucky enough to wander all over the storage area last year and I believe there is one left. None have been restored yet. A tail boom is on display in the hall. Sorry but I didn’t take any pictures…

    Yes please!!!
    I really like this museum plus it’s nice to see this area represented on here…
    It isn’t too cramped and is not that dark either…!
    They have had some luck with various Lottery applications and it shows.

    I spend one weekend a year helping out at helidays (not arm waving) which in turn benefits the museum and other charities. It is a good weekend and is like no other. Also the VAC awarded a restoration trophy to the Bell 47 held there…

    Agreed on that one Moggy.
    I wouldn’t call the 5 VAC events (totalling 5 days) a lot over a whole year.

    You got to hand it to the French they didn’t half build and fly some strange looking machines…

    I’d like to thank TFC for posting an official response to what has been said. I would think that if at any time Mr. Grey was unhappy with manoeuvere and had pulled out later than he deemed safe or was not comfortable with, he’d have stopped the practice and perhaps taken a few moments to reassess what the action.

    If he was slightly lower than you’d expect at a display (I cannot judge – I wasn’t there) then you must remember he was not at a display. As long as he flew in accordance with the appropriate regulations there should not be a problem.

    Just my view
