    I put these up on another thread earlier in the year, apologies for the repetition.

    I’d give it a miss this year if I were you. The museum’s website stresses the reserve collection will not be open in September.

    As for 22/23 October that’s an ‘aeropuce’ , ie. aerojumble, and that’s going to be in the Concorde hall – there’s no mention of the reserve collection.

    Put it in google and take the translate option and it’s all there.

    Southbound on the M1 at Sheffield this afternoon, a bare metal Piper Apache on the back of a truck along with what looked like two lurid ‘fibre glass mounds’. Off to a theme park/attraction somewhere?

    Great shots Roberto.

    I went a few years back and it’s an excellent museum. It’s a direct bus from a bus station near the centre of Madrid – nice and easy.

    Roberto – do you have a shot of the Dragon Rapide G-ACYR (in Olley Air Services colours if I remember correctly)?

    A Naval Aircraft Factory N3N-1 and a Fokker DR1 replica. While I was there a Bristol M1C Monoplane replica was pulled out of the hanger, put on a trailer and went off down the road (it’s now on display there).

    Thanks for the comments.

    Ozplane, yes it is the ENAER Pilan. If the info is correct, the one on display is a Piper-built prototype.

    As for the Hawk Major, it flew over the Andes and undertook the first commercial service to Patagonia – no mean feat!

    This is the last batch of photos from this museum. Thanks for looking.

    Thanks for the comments. Here’s the second batch, 1 more to follow. I think I was there during a transition phase – many of the aircraft now have complete paint jobs and others no longer resemble wrecks.

    The photo that got away was probably the most unique aircraft there. Unfortunately it was tucked away upstairs behind barriers and too far for a photo – a Chilean Air Force Druine D31 Turbulent!

    As for Hunters Wiseman, there’s actually a third one on a pole a couple of hundred yards up the road at the entrance to the military air base.

    oops, you’re dead right. i’m getting out of touch and lazy – i don’t know how i got to a wassmer there!

    BTW, the museum lost its star exhibit in 1997 – DH90 Dragonfly CX-AAR. If I understood the old man at the museum correctly, they restored it and and the first time they ran the engines it caught fire and was destroyed.

    This is the last batch of photos from this museum. The reason why there’s no-one about is I went in February and South America in February is like France in August – everyone goes away and nothing is open. When I was in Buenos Aries I phoned the museum and I was told it was closed for the whole month. So one day I went down to the Moron air base and asked 2 sentries at the gate who told me it was closed, asked me where I was from and told me to come back tomorrow when the general or such like was there. So I went back the following day and sure enough was let in for free and had the whole place to myself. A really helpful and friendly place

    Apologies for the quality, but this is really digging through the vaults – here’s some photos I took as an 8 year old! Aside from the quality of the instamatic, film and lack of technical ability, the Viscount photo shows height at Manchester was an issue too! The next post will be back to normal…
