    “Of particular interest to me is the Skyfame collection at Staverton.”

    Looking back at one of my earliest spotting logs (that I still have) the military inhabitants on 30th March 1967 were:

    N4877 Anson Mk.I
    V3388 Oxford Mk.I
    Z2033 Firelfly Mk.I
    TG528 Hastings C.1A
    RS709 Mosquito TT.35
    LZ766 Proctor Mk.III
    TG263 SR/A1
    LA607 Tempest Mk.II

    Hope this of interest!!!

    Personally I would like to contact any fellow spotters who attended the Skyfame Display on 31st March 1968 as this is subject of a lost log!

    I visisted in March 2008 and it was still as you describe. Regards the Police Museum, I don’t believe that this is open to the public, you need to find a sponsor! Co-located at Don Muang – albeit in the active area is the Tango Squadron with its fine collection. There were plans to open this up but don’t know if this has progressed.

    DazDaMan,
    Don’t think I saw a reply to you, but yes, the Fw190A-8/R6 wk. nr. 733682 is in the Imperial War Museum collection in Lambeth.

    WJ244,

    “The B of B display at Biggin in 1967 was my first ever air display. My neighbour was in the ATC and got me a lift on their bus to Biggin provided I was OK on my own all day once we got there.
    As an aircraft mad 12 year old it was an unbelievable sight to walk into that hangar and see all those aircraft that had only previously existed for me as photos in books and airfix kits.
    As far as I remember the hangar contained the HE111, JU88, ME110, CR42, ME109 and Wellington. I am sure the Gladiator had gone by then.”

    ….I also went to that event, my first BoB at Biggin too. I don’t suppose that you have a list of the aircraft partcipants do you?
