Will the Duxford Beaufighter have the bulge on the nose like Mk 21’s? I think the cockpit is from a 21, not sure though. Also, anyone know when the nose will be put on the fuselage, and when the first flight is expected?

True, i’d love to see a large building with just three aircraft in it – Vulcan, Victor and Valiant, imagine that, all facing towards the centre, set back far enough so you can see the aircraft well, Valiant in early all-white paint, Vulcan in camouflage with white undersides, and Victor in gulf war colours, the three V bombers in the colours they wore during the three stages of their lives…. ahhh i can dream

Cheers for posting them, very nice, especially the WWI stuff. Whats the blue one with ’15’ on the front? Very curious bird

Can’t wait until that Breighton Merlin 109 is finished 😀 too bad it isn’t a real 109, together with a spit or hurricane would make one heck of a display

Wherever it is, i hope its possible to get a decent view at the thing, its the only one in Britain thats on display (or will be on display, its currently in a HAS on the RAF part of Cosford), there is the one at Cov thats closer but i don’t think Air Atlantique have open days…. damn, i’d love a look around a twin pin

The Belfast will but unfortunately the Argosy won’t be, as you can see from the attached pic of the plan of the museum. Sorry its so small, it was from the RAF museum website. The belfast is on the left hand side wing of the new building, and the V bombers on the right side, hopefully if theres a high enough viewing gallery it should be possibly to get a decent pic of the Valiant. I think i can make out the twin pioneer underneath the starboard wing of the Valiant, when i zoom in on the pic.

True, it could have been the MP-40 Schmeisser, they had a 32 mag capacity and were 9-mm, and of course being a machine pistol would fire off very quick
