Great Photos as usual Gavin , heck , the Anson looks more like a very well put together plastic kitset cool.gif , good to compare the A4 to the Harrier in size and for the uneducated that GR3 has 3 times as much power from the RR jet engine than the A4 has , for obvious reasons .

Nice Meteor pics as well and the P-40 looks like its on it final stretch to completion , taken its time but been great to see it from your camera point off view.

Thanks Gavin thumbup1.gif

thumbup1.gif Gavin, Im sorry i didn't get a chance to line up with you at Wigram, Im not starting back until next week....but Im sure you were looked after (i hope you were) Did you notice that we removed the "snow" from the Antarctic area.....and the beaver had its first clean in about 10 years. Im not sure what the future of that display is, as there is some major renovation due for that corner of the hanger.

I'll try and give you some notice of when the 2 you wanted too see outside might happen.

Great shots as always.

Was well looked after, never got that much time at Wigram due to other stuff to do but it was nice to see the T bird and P-40.

Can't wait to see the Anson fly, the restoration looks stunning, I'll bet it didn't look that good when it was new from the factory!
