Yes I think I remember reading about the “Concorde engine slung underneath also based at Hucknall”

Thanks for all sharing bits of info..

My father was quite into airshows…and I can remember being tramatised by the EE Lightings doing their displays over the crowds at Hucknall..

I think he used to tell me that the Vulcan were used at Huckall for testing..anyone heard that one?

When did the last in service with the RAF Spits/Seafires retire? And was there a time where only one or two were left flying in the world?

I think you will have a great time…on the time I was visiting it was booked for two groups one in the morning and one in the afternoon…they give you the whole experience too..you get to do a preflight walkaround with your Capitain…

I will have to save up for the flight too!!

The CWHM Lancaster

And for those with a little share change in their pockets..you can book a flight in the Lancaster..it takes four passengers at a time for about a 40 minute flight…you are taken to the cockpit while in flight to get the full experience…apparently it is very noisy (ear protection is provided)..cost I think is 1400 or 1500 CAD$

Yes I have them at home…I will upload a few more of the Mitchell later this evening..

BC

Maybe because the Spit belongs to the Canada’s Aviation Museum…I think she would look great in the air where she belongs..
