Popped in this am to look at the three latest arrivals ..all stored for future projects....some of the elder statesmen on here will recognise the ex N.A.P.S frame RA848 from its days at Wigan.....the photos on UK Demobbed also show the superb new door/wall of the hangar and the framework for the other end is nearly complete thus making this hangar weatherproof again after it collapsed many years ago ...the efforts of all concerned at Hooton Park deserve much credit and our thanks...the opportunity to move some of the other frames into this hangar has been taken and revealed Canberra nose... Hunter nose ...Meteor T.7 fuselage and Sopwith Baby replica...most of you will know these but visit The Aeroplane Collection website or Hooton Park Trust website for further details...
