heavy showers.

While waiting to get in, the museum doesn’t open until 11:00 on Fri and Sat (11:05 this morning) a bunch of 3 & 4 yr old nursery kids turned up. One of the shouting ‘I want to see the Spitfire’ while running around arms outspread. 🙂

Not sure of it’s really NMoS, Glasgow’s Museum and Art Gallery doesn’t fall under the National Museums. It was however, donated to the people of Scotland to commemorate those who flew with both 602 (City of Glasgow) and 603 (City of Edinburgh) Auxiliary Air Force squadrons. LA198 served with 602 at Abbotsinch, and we rightly call it “Glasgow’s Spitfire”.

Apparently 2 other Spitfires that served with 602 survive, R6915 and TB382.

(Still shouldn’t string her up like an airfix kit)

I forgot sorry Moggy, just fly high to glide clear.

when you’re at the wrong height over built up area when the donk cuts, it’s too late to say you forgot!

With Jeffrey Quill and Alex Henshaw in the photo, I’d second dhfan’s guess at RJ Mitchell’s briefcase

here are a couple of not very good pics of the replica at Tangmere. Taken July 2002. Hope it helps.

you found some bits lying around Brooklands and turned them into the Super-Duper Vanguard that never got to Vickers drawing board? 😀

maybe from the irritating Scottish robot woman telling him to look at their helpful website….?
