The Mystere & F100 at the Lashenden Air Warfare Museum have NOT been part of the museum since 2007 having been returned to the National Museum of the USAF following the accident involving the F100 & Turbo Beaver OY-JRR. Neither aircraft was acquired by the museum having been loaned by other “preservation groups”. The F100 has been declared as unsafe following the accident which is why it is fenced off & untouched. The museum want them removed, the airfield owners want them removed & we are not allowed to dispose of them & the NMUSAF seem unwilling or unable to remove them!

We would love to have the F-100F at the Bentwaters Cold War Museum as its a representative type as they flew from Bentwaters twin base of Woodbridge with the 79th TFS.
But as you are fully aware the USAF Museum and its tight regulations won’t allow it to be moved to a private museum 🙁

That F-15 71-0291 is about 40 years old, so i would say it qualifies as historic

Not sure if it rates as ‘Historic’ either

The USAF museum would have to have a change of policy first….but i would buy an A-10,F-4D Phantom,F-101C Voodoo,F-86A,F-86D,F-84G,F-84F and a T-33A and place them on loan at the Bentwaters Cold War Museum.
