Here’s a date for your diary, the museum is holding a ‘Friends of the Eighth’ audio – visual presentation, at the Royal British Legion in Bottisham near Cambridge on Saturday the 22rd June at 4pm. Everyone welcome and there will be a cash bar open for refreshments.
Ahh the pennies dropped, now i know what you mean. I thought you meant being able to walk through and upto the cockpit rather than just from side to side 😉
The aircraft was a walk-through exhibit in Hangar One and elsewhere for many years – I’d forgotten the paratroop seating but remember the wind-down windows in the cabin!
Really? My memory must be playing tricks with me, as i cannot remember any sort of access to the aircrafts interior. But thanks for the ‘reminder’.
I can’t help looking at that beautifully restored and presented interior in the Amiot, and thinking what a shame it is that the paying public never actually got to see and appreciate what it was like inside a paratrooper transport aircraft 🙁
Only a matter of time until the wildcat gets air under its wings. Out of curiosity, how is the hellcat progressing?
When i was in there yesterday it was still up on jacks, possibly for u/c retraction tests. Its when you see it close up that you realise what a big brute the Hellcat is !
Its your project fella, and seeing as you have taken the brave step of saving the nose section in the first place i guess its only fair you restore her to the spec of your choice.
And personally i’d be happy to see a joint Sea Harrier / Victor thread, that way its easier to keep upto date with both projects.
Just my twopenith, and good luck 🙂
Rob
