    Beaufighter

    Yes,

    Both engines of the Beaufighter have been restored to operating condition and before the Museum had constructed its building to put such historic aricraft in from the elements it was run regularly for demonstration.

    (one engine was not run due to problems with the propellor unit and any leads for a replacement hub would be appreciated)

    Despite its location inside the museum a strategy is being explored to allow engine runs to be again be undertaken.

    regards

    Flying aircraft

    Hi, thanks for the welcome,

    The Museum doesnt have any flying aircraft at the Museum, it previously had a flying Firefly and Wirraway restoration, since sold off during previous tight financial periods, a Desoutter and BA Swallow are under airworthy restoration for the Museum but due to their rarity are unlikely to be actively flown, a number of the Aircraft – DC3 Beaufighter, Ceres, Tiger Moth and Sycamore are maintained with runable engines.

    regards

    Mark
