    I shall visit at my first opportunity. I hadn't realised how much interesting kit was there. That sectioned Hercules looks very nicely done.

    See one Lightning ... :)
    I said something similar to them about Concorde ... They weren't amused. My main reasons for visiting were the Beaufighter and Bolingbroke, both of which were hidden behind a screen (luckily I am well over 6ft tall, so could phot over it!)
    The B707 exhibit was excellent; my late father flew on that aircraft many times, and told me, years ago, that I had crossed the Atlantic on it, so that was well worth seeing (though a little sad as it was complete last time I saw it at Cosford)
    Overall; much enjoyed the visit. Hope they get on with the Beaufighter soon.

    Presume it's the old BOAC 707 as "preserved" by BA.
