Thanks, gents, you are right, MRP, one of the Reynolds family (forget his name unfortunately) took us “behind the scenes” to the restoration workshops as well as this normally hidden “reserve collection” – it really is an amazing place, just one corner is shown in this picture! There are absulute gems here, such as the last airworthy Miles M11A Whitney Straight.
When I have assembled all my captions (which is why I asked for help on this one), I will put up a thread of this museum, which I had no idea existed!
This museum is also something new to me Peter. It’s a huge task to find all the background info about all those planes, but when you complete it, it will be a great resource for later work. I cant wait to see that tread Peter! 🙂

Sad to see such things do happen. (and I’m afraid more often than I think 🙁 ). The only good news here is that they where stoped by the costums. That couple had a strange souvenir from their trip.

Absolutly AWSOME! Very nice pics APG. Good to see the RNHF attended on sunday. 🙂

Is there a 60 Assoc? Or the city? They’d have stuff.
Sorry, I don’t scan from books as a rule… 🙁
Cheers!
No problem JDK. I also try to avoid scanning from books.
Thanks for the tip.
I got some items with me here and I think I got enough with the items you have posted.
Many thanks.

Thanks guys for that pics. That crest is great.
This is a great start. Any additional pics would be great!

I understand that the SeaHawk and Sea Fury arrived around 7pm after the rain had stopped.
That was bad news for thos who attended on saturday. I hope the crowd got more luck today so that some more pics of the RNHF can find their way to this board.
It’s nice to see that DO24. Still an amazing plane.
J.V.
They are very nice if you think about the poor conditions to take pics. Did anything from the RNHF attend the show?
J.V.
But to avoid mistakes and hard translation work: spitfire stays spitfire in dutch. 😉
Very nice photo site tenthije.

Thanks Mark for that additional info.
Do you know if those reproductions are going to include a original enginetype for example a Bristol Jupiter (also maybe new built) or will they be powered by modern sources?
J.V.
I do not think many people would be aware of these remains or the recovery.
I was certainly not aware of it. I am very pleased to see so many parts have been found of such a rare plane. I hope that those parts may raise from storage and used for a new project! 🙂
Greets,

The light was bright and overhead but I suspect some degrading in these slides compared with the Transpo 72 shots already posted.
They are great Mark. Now that they are digital, the quality will not be degrading any further. How do I love colour pics! 😎
J.V.
Did I miss something here? :confused: 😉
Great to see the Sea Fury and the Sea Hawk back where they belong! 🙂 Stunning pics.
Many thanks to all!
J.V.
Nice suprise to see that Lysander in france. Le Bourget is without any doubt the Hendon of France.
J.V.
I got that solution on the ID from the red plane Peter. Check your PM’s.
Good Night,
