I have been meaning to look at this establishment for a while, and decided Sunday may be a good idea, as they are not renowned for being enthusiast friendly. The Ugandan Police Force Scout was outside, which is a rare occurance, the JPT5 is visible from a gate further along Haig Road. The Harrier and the JP could be found together with a little bit of mooching. Also noted was an unmarked, blue Enstrom F-28 - not seen this mentioned previously, any thoughts on its ID please ?
Oliver Valves, Haig Road, Parkgate Industrial Estate, Knutsford, Cheshire.

Martin
We have a 610 Squadron Association luncheon there on the 16th so will try to find out why the frames are outside and hopefully put an i/d to the Enstrom for you.....

Thanks, Dave - I think I was very lucky to catch them all outside.

The same owner was meant to have a number of BAPC registered "replicas" too - anyone know if they are housed here, or elsewhere?
Cheers,
Lee.

Hi Lee, apologies for the delayed replied, I really do not know, Wrecks and Relics seems to imply they may be elsewhere.

The BAPC registered airframes there are .... BAPC 384 Flight Refuelling Falconer UAV ....BAPC 304 a FSM Spitfire W3850 coded PR.A named Irene and BAPC 385 a replica flyable Sopwith Camel B6447 named Susan all on display in private museum.
Real aircraft apart from those shown as now outside are front fuselage of Spitfire P8088 (G-CGRM) and Me109 13605 (G-JIMP)both in museum and in storage Slingsby Tutor BGA.791
We have a 610 Squadron Association lunch there soon..... they took most of our artefacts and created a magnificent 610 display room and Michael kindly became our patron so I will try and get the reg of the Enstrom and will enquire about any unknown stored stuff BAPC or not.Will also try to find out why the airframes have been moved outside etc.
Please note this is a private collection and only viewable with prior permission which due to it being in a working environment is rarely granted...I will of course advise if this changes...

Wrecks and Relics #27 lists Enstrom as G-BRZG....
