Still available according to ebay :confused:
Hawker Siddeley HS125 cockpit section

The Buck is probably a typo 😀

I know the feeling. There i am, sat at my desk catching up on my favourite historic aviation forum, and then this bl@@dy noisy historic warbird comes low over my house turning finals to land and forces me to get up and look out of the window. I mean… come on….. who needs it ? :p:D
Sorry back on thread.
Great photos. Thanks for posting.
Cheers Gerry 😉
Never been before, but hope to make it!
Anybody with information about the latter feel free to post also 😀
:D:D:D
they were taken at the 1952 Air Day at Lee-on-Solent by The Hampshire Telegraph, (I was much too young to attend this one I am quick to add!), I think the second one will appeal to Wyvernfan especially:DGerry R
Indeed it does Gerry, thank you :). Its probably VZ746 which i have down as being demonstrated at Lee-On-Solent in July 1952.
Any other anecdotes or photos would be much appreciated.!
Interesting report. What Gannet is it that they have there, as the prop blades appear to be sawn off?
Edit; Just realised its XA460, the ex Connahs Quay and Aeroventure Gannet AS.4.
That JP cockpit is an absolute bargain… at the moment anyway!
Bottisham Airfield Museum open day
As expected turn out was down because of the appalliing weather, but many thanks to those who did make it. Also a big thank you from the museum to the exhibitors, and to the guys from RAF Lakenheath who turned up in numbers, and who also braved the elements and an airborne gazebo to man the bbq and provide hot food.
Here’s a few pics from the day and just some of the exhibits now on display in our new home.
See you all there. And bring an umbrella :D:).
.
Just a reminder to everyone that the Bottisham Airfield Museum open day is tomorrow at our new venue in the Royal British Legion, and everyone is welcome to come along and see the selection of displays.
The museum have also decided to drop the admission price so its now also free to enter (of course any donations made to the museum collection box will be gratefully received).
There will be a cash bar open for refreshments.
See you all tomorrow 🙂

If all the buried aircraft in all the world are dug up…what will we do with the huge spoil heap of soil?
Answers on a postcard….
Simple. Dig another hole and put it in there!
