I’ve seen referance to the museum before it’s at the Luftwaffe transport base at Wunsdof near Hannover where they keep their Transalls…. The museum holds one of the JU52 that sank after landing on a Frozen Norwegian lake, they also have/ had the DFS 230 and a Storch.
Thats the one from Wunsdorf Ju52 museum, great place to visit if your in the area.
Thanks Bruce, Next question… Do you know anyone that will cut them?
Try the RAF museum at Hendon, i think they have the movement and any repair cards for all RAF/ AAC aircraft, very helpful when i researched my auster.
I got to know one of the volunteers quite well, Normandy and Arnhem glider pilot Albert Midgley, not seen him for years, hope he is still well.
I built a nissen hut for my project, looks great and does the trick, complete with fire buckets and scamble bell, even the postman calls it Stalag Luft 3 on his rounds…. although the local witch society took offence to it and called the planning office……. Thought i’d covered everything but failed to gain info regarding the accumulative volume of all garden sheds/ porches etc also comes into it to stop people throwing up a load of tiny chiken sheds etc….
Thanks Bograt, much appreciated.
Please dont use cheap Polyester tat, i’m sure a phone call to a local RAF stations Warrent Officer will produce the goods and a lot more.
A Dakota and the assualt glider projects Horsa would be good to commemorate the strong links of the surrounding area with the 1st British Airborne division prior to Arnhem.
Knock down the chicken sheds
add rows of bomb trolleys with examples of various ordinance
Build another hanger to house more exhibits
Recreate a home front ack ack battery with gun pits/ search lights etc.
promote and house other WW2 British aircraft types (the spitfire has now left)
Very good museum already, just listed the above to compliment what’s been done already.
Hows the Strutter coming along? Is it an accurate project? scratch build or kit? Sounds interesting……
Very nice machine, is that the one that Maurice Kirk had up for sale?
The ‘standard green’ looks very much like a British racing green colour but i’m trying to work out if most postwar restorations would have stuck to that colour and it has now become the norm…… There are alot of darker shades that would suit a military machine much more.
Hi, I’ve been a few times to the Middle Wallop archives and wasnt that impressed, most of their auster stuff is in scrap books from magazine cuttings etc.
Thanks again, i’m fairly new to the site but very impressed with what people have to offer…..
Cheers,
Tim.
P.S Mudmover, got any spares you dont want??
