I have managed to enlarge a section if it helps, are they hangers in the gap between buildings

Forgot we had this gem hidden away, it is a Bf109 target silhouette, from the air to ground range at Pilling. When put together it gives the appearance of a 109 at a distance.

Another project awaiting restoration in the workshop.

You may be pleased to hear that the long awaited (and very frustrating 🙁 ) House move is all set for next week 🙂 So hopefully I should be able to manage a trip or two to the museum very soon. 😮

I have continued to try to contact Lucite for the perspex sheet that they promised us ages ago, but seem to be up against a brick wall – Answerphones all the time & never ring back 😡 But you know me – I never give up 😉

Good to hear that the A-26 parts will be under cover soon – about time I got a proper display organised on that one. Also is the WW1 display Glynn mentioned still on the cards as I will start putting stuff to one side for that as it comes out of storage if it is.

We got some perspex at a good price, but there is still a need for much more, especialy if the yard is going to be refurbished

The WW1 display is still on, a small limited display is in place, using the room were the German kit was, which has now moved due to it expanding to the room behind. The displays from that room have gone to the squash court and those displays have gone to HMS Macaw.

So there is plenty of space available for the WW1 display.

RAF Millom Aviation & Military Museum Veterans Day

Ex service personnel would recieve 20% discount off addmission upon production of a forces reunited discount card. Current service personnel would gain free admision on production of a service id card.

There is a buffet available and anyone wishing to book one can do so by contacting,

All of our three sites will be fully open on this day, so it would offer a good opportunity to anyone wishing to all view the sites and to meet some of the Veterans.

We are also hoping to attract a few local cockpits and military vehicles to the event, if you have one you would be more than welcome to attend and would also get free admission to the museum.

We look forward to seeing you, and guarantee you the warmest of welcomes.

When he first came he only wanted a 1/4, at the moment he occupies 2/3 hopefully when it as packed away and organised it will reduce to about 1/3

talk about give an inch and take a mile, all good fun though.

We are already looking at expanding that site further
