Personally I think aviation museums are the perfect venue for an Aerojumble; my last two visits to Brooklands only happened because of the Aerojumbles there. As has been said many of the facilities that have to be provided on a bare-field-site are already in place at a museum and it never hurts to get more punters through the doors. I also feel that my (often long and expensive) journey hasn’t been wasted even if I buy nothing.

Have to agree with that. Like all aerojumbles i visit i went with money to spend in the hope of finding ‘another needle from the haystack’. And although there were a few nice pieces in the end i didn’t buy anything. BUT having the museum already there on site meant that for me it wasn’t a day totally wasted.!

Thanks for that PaulHP. Had never really noticed before the P51’s bottom right on the neighbouring Litlington village sign!

Here are a couple Rob, the window is in the near by church and the village sign i had to include.

Thanks for those Steve. Have obviously seen the village sign before but the church window is new to me.. and very impressive!

As i recall the farm buildings have been used for 355th vet reunions before. A fitting use in my opinion.

Just found this lovely pic of a 355th P51 apparently at SM. Also can anyone confirm that the memorial propeller is genuine and not a replica?

Thanks James, but you bad boy. There’s a big sign saying ‘PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB UP THE BANKING’.

PanzerJohn – Yes the aeroboot was a bit light but was about what i expected so was still a good day out. A very nice wooden single blade, superb carved model of the enormous Saro Princess flying boat, a nice although somewhat overpriced (in my opinion) Vampire fin and a Chipmunk instrument panel were to be found, and of course an original Spitfire control grip :).
