Keeping my fingers crossed that that is not the case and Martin-Baker will have four ties to send out...

Those cold pommy winters do nothing for the paint jobs on those birds. They would cost a bomb to keep looking close to airworthy I'd expect.

It's looking like three dead (one confirmed and search called off) and one critical :nope:

Yep that was a Gannet and first time I've been inside a Dakota.

Very bad news indeed regarding the Tonka.

Halifax? Didn't know there were any fully on display, that's great news - and I really should get off my bum and go there as it's only 50 miles away, or 15 when I go on holiday in August. :D

Just got to influence the wife and kids now. :/\\!!

Jimbuna 07-06-12 05:47 PM

They're refurbishing a tasty looking mosie in the same hangar...I'll put some pictures up tomorrow.

You should get there, I was honestly impressed....many of the wxhibits I never even took pictures of :hmm2:

TarJak 07-07-12 09:01 PM

So are they bringing the mossie back to flyable status or just sprucing her up as a static display?

Nice shots BTW.

Nice photos Jimbo, You remind me that I need to pay another visit to RAF Hendon and maybe Duxford too. Ill drag the nipper down there in a couple of years, like me he seems to have taken a liking to aviation from an early age (as well as trains and diggers) - it must be Genetic :haha:
Took him to London transport museum a few weeks ago and he bloody loved it.
