Thanks for your kind words of support – to answer a few points raised: –
Bottisham, Cambridgeshire CB25 9DU is our location.
We have tried emailing & telephoning Bottisham Village college but so far don’t seem interested – will try and get there in person.
It certainly is a time capsule (6 original ww2 buildings & 2 air raid shelters in the middle of a village). A petition is under active consideration.
Some more photos:

Are you sure it wasn’t the Sally B??
She came over the museum at Bottisham at midday on Saturday & appeared to be in the circuit for Marshalls – she then cruised around the area (Wilbraham – Fulbourn etc) for a little while.
We are certainly used to people mistaking Olive Drab for blue!!!!!!!!

A friend of mine has posted pictures on facebook of Ferocious Frankie attending the Merlin Pageant at Hucknall & then she may have gone on to Cosford.
So I would say Ferocious was the most likely candidate.
Tony,
We are hoping to – but struggling with transport a bit at the moment.

Thanks for the kind words.
Next is a 1940’s dance to raise funds for the P-51 cockpit project.


Price
Whilst you are at it how about a price for a static P-51 bulkhead and the frame that surrounds the P-51 instrument panel?
Many thanks

Anyone know what happened to the link trainer base and desk?

130 Squadron Video footage
Amazing video footage of 130 Sq. taken between Feb & May 1942 at Perranporth can be found at: –
No sign of PJ-K from a quick viewing but stunning footage all the same.
Video is half the way down the page.
Good luck in your search!
Andy,
Looking forward to meeting you.
Shame you didn’t make the opening – 150+people, 17 MV’s, 2 full-size A/C and a P-51 cockpit.

Had never heard that although I know some living quarters were in S-B, will make some enquiries.
We are aleady on the case of the murals and have secured the flying tractor but are still busy tracing some of the others.
Cheers
