Latest arrivals with the ever increasing airframes are as mentioned in mybprevious update post DH 82A Tiger Moth EM 480 (G-ANBY ntu) which arrived Saturday 28th January and was reassembled that day thanks to the guys from Army Historic Flight
.
The second arrival is new to me a 2/3 scale Sopwith Camel wearing the serial D8118 .
This was used in Southport schools as a touring exhibit to make pupils aware of 100 years of RAF and the end of World War One .It does not appear in any of my reference books and has no BAPC number .
Initial thoughts are for it to be used in a proposed childrens area .
A google search ...Sopwith Camel in Southport schools... revealed some good info..
As stated in previous post there is no open day on last Sunday of February .
The down time will be used to re arrange the exhibits and crack on with getting the other bay of the hangar finished.
Regards Dave
