I hope I've posted this is in the right section - it's military nostalgia, but at a civil airfield.
Just a few shots taken on 11 September of the latest addition to the Solway collection which arrived in February last year, a Gannet that had languished at White Waltham since 2006. At first sight it looks to be in poor condition, but that's partly because they've started rubbing the paintwork down. I think the gantry is to assist with re-attaching the wingtips.

The Vulcan is well looked after. The front end looks to have been recently repainted, while the rear is a work-in-progress.

Finally, a photo of the museum's RAF Phantom, just because the Phantom is one of my all-time favourite aircraft.
