F-32 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I've been meaning to visit this museum for years and finally got around to it a couple of weeks ago. Small, but perfectly formed, the highlight is of course the three Mosquito aircraft, and for me the opportunity of sitting in a Sea Vixen, thus fulfilling a boyhood dream!

stevehnz Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Nice pkccies. I was there about 18 months ago, very sorry the prototype was in bits but the rest well worth it. I also sat in the Sea Vixen, after that & a Harrier at Solent Sky, I decided an ex rugby lock forward build & being a jet jockey are mutually exclusive.

The Cameraman Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Hi F-32, it's been a few years since I was last there and wonder if the DHC-3 Otter's still under wraps, or has she gone elsewhere? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-32 Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 Hi Reggie, I didn't see the Otter, but they are building a new hanger and I think some aircraft are hidden away until it's completed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 It looks like they have had a move around. Good to see some more airframes under cover. Julien 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
