Nice selection. This collection was featured on TV in the UK a few weeks ago.
Would that Stuka be one of the replicas built for the Battle of Britain film?
mmitch.
I googled a bit around ,but found no links with BoB movie.
The Junkers replica appears to be locally made.
JU-87B STUKA ,”J6+CK” (Luftwaffe) Replica
I also came on this page
http://www.classicfighters.co.nz/classic-fighters-news.php
I contains lots of news and great links
Halveway the page is a set of photos of an exploding V-2 rocket.
I already noticed the lower part in the backyard of the museum ,but had no story .
The photoset explains it all.
Even better
It has a Youtube link regarding the start-up of the Bristol freighter engines
Great sound !:)
Kind regards

Fantastic stuff.
What’s the story with the SE5a diorama?
refer to Yahoo photo page
R.A.F SE-5A ,”D6864″ (RAF) replica
in more detail : Copied from wikipedia
ref : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_%22Grid%22_Caldwell
Although never shot down, he once survived a mid air collision with his 74 Sqn colleague Sydney Carlin, nursing his crippled aircraft to ground level before climbing out of the cockpit and jumping clear as it crashed. Caldwell fought inconclusive dogfights with German Aces Werner Voss and Herman Becker. A natural pilot with excellent eyesight and a talent for finding enemy aircraft, Caldwell’s weakness was that, as a poor shot, he frequently was unable to destroy the aircraft he engaged—a flaw that stopped him joining the ranks of top Allied aces in which he moved. He knew James McCudden
Kind regards

Here’s two of the SR-71 on display on the 28th May 1989, anyone here know its serial?
From my photo DB (and subject to errors)
1988 Flying : 64-17971
1988 Static : 64-17980
1989 Static : 64-17976
I know there is a long discusion about Blackbirds and their serial numbers ,
But above serials were entered in the DB 20 years ago
