Quick, someone register WK163 and Canberra as registered trade marks!

It would be nice to see one flying again.

The lighting in the military hangar is very tricky as it goes up and down whenever they start the video presentation. Watch the dual illumination from outside against the hangar lights, there’s a slight blue cast on my Beech 18 photo that I could not totally eradicate…. and for everything else there is manual white balance… in saying that I ended up going almost all monochrome.

I was speaking with the owner recently and he told me that he did have plans for the Gannet but it is now too far gone thanks to local vandalism.

As for the Vampire, some scallywag cut the fighting cocks emblem off the fuselage. It’s not an original, as it was a slate gray and orange aircraft, the 43 Squadron markings were applied while it was at Strathallan.

The Buccaneer is still about… somewhere. The shed and the adjoining firing butts have been demolished and the Vampire moved into storage.

Dumfries has recently purchased some more land and in the process of building some hangars to house some of the aircraft.

Now, who hasn’t been to Dumfries recently then? 🙂

As for EF, Concorde was a massive ego trip , it cost a lot of money for just one aircraft. They desperately need more hangars but hell will freeze before that happens.

I was there at the MOSI this weekend and it’s still open.

Another place with a weird tripod policy, got a no, when I asked. I don’t like places like that.

I was also at Woodford and I really doubt if the Avro Museum would have space to keep the Shack. As it is the Vulcan sits neatly in a garden of sorts.
As for the suggestion that any place in Scotland would have it, that’s worth a laugh. No where to keep it indoors. Dumfries would be the only place that would have the space for it but that is pure conjecture. East Fortune’s acquisition policy needs a kick up the back-side, but that’s another story.

The Sea Hawk was the former Strathallan and later Montrose Museum aircraft.
Interesting set of pictures, the Albacore is very nice.

Think yourself lucky, it is £2.20 up here.

I was told that there is only one refinery in Europe refining Avgas and that is in Cyprus!
QED.

Good to see that one has been preserved, The islander was a forgotten British success story.

The clue is in the clouds Alan.
I think that I used either the three or the ten stop ND filter, it is a 15 second exposure and I seem to have got away with it except for the colour, which could have been better.

OK, I’ll ask, what’s the deal with the little white balls around the Sea Fury?
Looks like some kind of virtual mapping thing going on.

Just keep these photos coming, for all of us who don’t get to Duxford all that often.

Some one mentioned it earlier but one wing is inside the Blenheim workshop

It is most likely they were towed from the old Renfrew Airport to Shieldhall Docks, the piece of road that can be seen at the bottom of the picture is still there and can be seen on the Google earth image of Shieldhall Docks, Glasgow.
In their case towed to Renfrew Airport, although I gather that it was a two way process at one time.

I was lucky enough to catch the Piaggio at Glenrothes this afternoon, here’s the set of eleven photos that I posted onto my Flickr site.

I wish that I could have captured the noise, it was incredible.
