I was in the UK 5 years ago & went there
There is a lot more displays now by the looks, a great place to spend a few hours
Tell me have they got the Mossi up to taxing yet as that is all it will be allowed to do
& I like the way they have displayed the Glider they were just starting the frame when I was there & were a bit undecided how far to go It looks great

i dont know if the Mosquito is running or not,,it wasnt yesterday ,you can see it in the first set of pics part dissassembled ,i arnt that keen on aircraft so to be honest didnt take much notice of it, so it may have just been stripped for maintenance
