Hi all, been off for a few weeks. I was out in East Lothian yesterday and popped into the Museum of Flight. It doesn't reopen (during the week) for the summer until next month, but there's no gate on the drive
On the drive up to the car park I noticed an old British European Airways hulk in one of the restoration areas - picture of it
here - I would have had no idea what that was, so thank you, Mr. Internet.
Up at the car park the place was deserted, save for a small helicopter just landing. There is an unmissable new exhibit parked opposite the main (Concorde) hangar (on the old Helicopter landing marker) - the BA BAC1-11 - here it is with an overexcited 3 year old in front of it
I wonder was it renamed deliberately?
One for the spotters
:
I didn't see any sign of the bits of the Trident or the 707 - most likely they are in one of the sheds. I must pop in to see if they are in one of the public restoration sheds - I'm out that way again on Sunday.
On the way out we passed by the rear of the Viscount and it was possible to see a couple of guys in overalls
eating sandwiches working on the restoration.
