    The Red Bull Fw190 is certainly eye catching.
    Pure fantasy or a possibility I wonder (ala P38, B25 and Corsair).

    Its clear that this relatively small but wonderful little museum is doing everything possible to stay put – to improve and to preserve their unique collection of aircraft, and that has to be supported and congratulated among the historic aviation fraternity.

    Rob…

    Do you have the magazine, as if you do and can scan it, I will be able to photoshop the text away…

    Stu…

    Thanks Stu, yes i do have the magazine so i’ll try and get it scanned and let you know. Unfortunately the left wingtip is missing but its better than nothing.

    Or I have an artist friend who will paint it to whatever size you like for a reasonable figure…

    Cheers Kirt, if i have no luck tracing a possible original print i’ll come back to you and get your artist friend to quote me.

    Brewerybod, thats an impressive looking canopy the museum has. Nice to see there’s at least ‘something’ left of the RB-45 over here.

    Indeed DB, never realised there were so few of the type about until I looked. Just three listed survivors according to wonderful wiki. Shame really..!

    The DH110 footage was sad – John Derry was a childhood pal of my grandad’s. Very disappointed that the Flight Test Observer Anthony Richards was not mentioned.

    My thoughts exactly.

    Nevertheless an enjoyable programme though. And got me thinking whether a preserved RB-45 Tornado is needed in the UK, given the types use by courageous RAF crews on spying missions over the Soviet Union during the cold war.

    As others have said what a fantastic photo. I can only imagine what the little lad seen bottom left is thinking as he’s running and glancing over his shoulder.

    For me its also interesting to see a photo of RNAS Anthorn, as photos of the former Royal Navy receipt and dispatch unit are hard to find.
    And judging by the three hangars seen in the background the flight of the Lancasters is along the line of a runway, in the direction of one of the arrows i’ve marked on the colour image.

    Fantastic update John, and it looks and sounds like it was an extremely worthwhile trip as there’s some really nice pieces in the photos for the project to copy / keep !
