Ian,

Meant to ask have you an ID for the Mustang – just wondering if its ex-Bottisham as Bottisham was the home to RAF Mustangs before the USAAF moved in.

Cheers

Tony,

I can find no record of any P-51D carrying a hyd hand pump? We have one in the museum from the P-51B Impatient Virgin.

Can you flick my over any documentation you have that shows this in a D.

Thanks

Jason

The knob is from a Mustang 73-52150 is the knob for the elevator and aileron control lock according to my parts list. We at the Bottisham Airfield Museum would love to give this a good home if it needs one!

I think the IWM has made a rod for its own back with the sale of a number of airframes last year and the projected sale of more airframes this year (T-33, B-25 and Avenger et al).

People won’t pay £16 to see the same old thing – the museum has to keep fresh and coming up with new exhibits. The disposal of airframes should only take place in extreme circumstances but if it does happen it should be used as an opportunity to exchange airframes around museums. One could argue the ideal place for the spitfire 1 would be in a beefed up Battle of Britain display at Duxford.

Further to what Rob was saying new members would be very welcome.

Denis – we shall be following a similar road to that taken by the museum at Boxted. They got planning permission for the erection of 2 Nissens 2/3 years ago. 1 was a wartime original and 1 was new build. The museum is now operating very successfully I understand and they have given us a few useful pointers.

We have some feelers out to locate a nissen but if anyone has any leads they would be greatly appreciated and I will try and chase them down. Contact [email]jasonwebb@bottishamairfieldmuseum.org.uk[/email]

Timescale

Gary,

I would imagine we will have at least one years planning and paperwork to get through before we can start work. We will need to get planning permission and apply for a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund and this takes time.

Will be in touch soon as likely to have a meeting to discuss.

Cheers

New permanent home for the museum

I am very proud to announce the museum has been offered some land on Bottisham airfield upon which we can build a permanent museum.

Our plan is to erect one or two nissen type buildings that will house our P-51 Mustang and all our exhibits.

There are still numerous hurdles to jump through but it is shaft of bright light towards the end of the tunnel.

If anyone has any experience of putting up buildings I would love to hear from you as it is going to be a steep learning curve for us.

Cheers

Jason

Last call for the Bottisham Airfield Museum Open Day this Sunday.

All forumites assured a very warm welcome.

We should have some interesting displays including plenty of military vehicles, Gary Dean’s outstanding P-51 cockpit, WW2 re-enactors and our famous barbeque sausages.

The museum needs as much support as we can get as we push to make the case for a permanent home that can house all our exhibits in one place.

Hope to see you there.

Cheers

The plan I think is for it to be returned to flight status next summer along with this new Merlin 266 which they now have ready for it.

Will it be in the book……
