Nice one guys, be great to see her running!

Here’s a Supermarine racer I spotted on a 1930’s Riley at the Baxterley Wings and Wheels event last week (not sure precisely which one, i’m guessing the S.6)

This is what I was told by someone at the Museum of Flight back in March

The restoration of this aircraft is a long-term project being carried our by volunteers one day per week under the supervision of our two conservation staff appointed last year. I have not heard an estimated completion date for this aircraft, but it will be several years before the work is completed finished. Although the aircraft has wing, engines and undercarriage fitted, and therefore looks externally like an aircraft, it requires a lot of work to the interior.

As a Canadian-built aircraft, which only ever saw service in Canada with the RCAF, it is most likely that the Bolingbroke will appear in the colours it would have worn as a Canadian training aircraft.

As regards displaying the aircraft once completed, this is still being decided as part of a long-term development plan for the Museum of Flight. This has not been fully agreed yet and therefore I cannot give a definite answer to this question.

Anyone know what the plans are for the IWM’s Bolly? Be good to see complete examples of both a Mk I and and a Mk IV in one place

Would be great if the RAFM bought the Hunt’s Boston, although I heard the prices tend to be high for their recoveries (Hampden going for about a million apparently)

Argh captured again! Don’t think the Guppy has moved for years, presumably the tug is just there to look good

That’s the Beech 18 ‘Naval Encounter’, she’s in a RUB hangar, needs the cover putting over it which should be done before winter I think (Phil or TT know more), be good to get her properly undercover

Blimey, hope you guys got undercover in time – journey home took about three times longer than normal and bits of trees flying everywhere!

They’re both J1’s actually, haven’t heard of an AOP 6 at Brunty. By the way, anyone know of any side-profile views of an Auster J1 I could have? the outline ideally but could modify any image.
