Thanks to the amazing generosity of the RAF Millom Museum,
Dont forget MerlinPete as well
Our Tornado cockpit section came from the Saudi Support Unit at Warton and was allowed to keep its Saudi markings, it was used as an ejector seat fitting/removal trainer.
There is a complete Botha on its back in the Duddon Estuary just off the airfield.
Large outer wing section in the museum from Botha L6446, plus we have wheels and other small parts.
We built a scafold frame to raise our Flea of the ground which gave us more space to display engines below her. She has now moved to the Display Hall.
We measured up for the lightning we are getting and when the fin goes back on it will have to go into a skylight to accomodate it so this limits were it can be positioned in the hall.
Getting the new building has allowed the current fleet of airframes and cockpits to come in out of the cold and space for more, apart from the Whirlwind which is the RAF Millom site gate guardian, soon to be joined by a MK9 Centurion tank and the PH fort that is already there.
Just hope we are lucky in obtaining the Gannet to act as gate guardian at the HMS Macaw site.
What is this thing actually worth with such a providance
Now was this the same Hospitial on the Wirral, were burned aircrew went to be given treatment and then a new identity after being reported lost so they would not have to face their families.
