A couple of pictures showing Aces High’s CASA in July 1995, North Weald. One person was working on some parts (wheelwell doors, IIRC) during our visit.

Might not be complete, but your picture shows that the Fort was missing its top turret. So you’ll have to return to check if there is one now 😀

Thanks for sharing!

Hello Melvin,

Your right about the cash situation, we certainly need more than we currently have. Regarding our hangars, they belong to the Musee de l’Air, and we have been promised that we’ll get better ones in a near future, so we just have to wait and see for that issue. And don’t worry about those areas of skin that need some attention, the restoration is far from completion, and they will be worked on later.

Bets regards,

Laurent

Hello,

Here are a few tips to get there:

The easiest way is to take the RER “B” line (the one that goes to Charles de Gaulle/Roissy airport), and stop at Le Bourget station (make sure that your train stops there, as some don’t), then you take the street in front of the station and walk for a few minutes to the main avenue, and you have a bus stop on the left, in front of an abandonned cinema, the “Aviatik”, and then you should wait for the bus, line “152”. Approching the museum, you will see the two Ariane rockets in the distance, and when you read “Diderot” on a bus stop, you must get out at the next one. The Museum opens at 10 am, and is closed on Monday.

Another way is to take the Subway line “7”, going to Bobigny and leaving at the “8 May 45” station, and then again, wait for bus “152”, but be sure you are on the right side of the street then, you have one line going north, and the other going south.

Sorry to disapoint you, but you might not see many WWII planes, as they had to be stored to make room for the second Concorde to be displayed in the Concorde hall, and it is unlikely they will be displayed again, as the place they are currently in are the halls that were declared unsafe 10 years ago for the public, and that should have been rebuilt, but nothing have been done yet.

HTH,

Laurent

RE: me109 in strange US markings

This plane is a romanian bf109g that was painted in crude US markings to fly to Italy after Romania surrendered in August 1944, to plan the return of all US (and allied?) prisoners of war.
