RNAS Museum Reserve Collection Open, 23rd October 2014

[Martin H]

I would like to know where the Phantom FG1 XV586 is, its the one they got back from the RAF and it was repainted back to its 892 markings as per their final deployment on Ark in 78.

Its possible she doesnt belong to the museum, but to the station it self. A small number of Phantoms have survived that way.

All booked, staying at the Podimore Travelodge and going down on the 22nd, Wednesday and coming back up on the 26th, Sunday. A mini break for me and I just need to decide what I'm going to do on the Friday, may visit Plastic Past-Times in Poole.  

before or after visining Bovie ? 

Went last year and got loads of photos.

Not long now, got myself a new canera and all ready to go. Calling in at Old Warden on the way home on the Sunday to collect two Westland Scout/Wasp tail rotor assemblies.

Would that be Westland built ones, or Fujimi or Airfix ones? And if the former, why?

If the former, ceiling fan blades?

I've just looked up Plastic Pastimes and they closed down in July this year, according to the Airfix Tribute Forum.

If I have the Friday and Saturday off work (still to be confirmed) I want to see the Royal Signals Museum at Blandford Forum or the Keep Military Museum in Dorchester, definitely the Tank Museum and maybe go on the Swanage Steam Railway on Saturday.

Bugger, I was going to go there, hmm.........

Well, my exam date has been pushed back a month due to the testing centre being re-located so this date is now free. I may well indulge and pay a visit.

Bumped it to the Ginger Giant (aka Nick)   on the Thursday while at Yeovilton  




He then started taking the mick out of my car just because it shorter than most others, I can see the problem.  




And yes all the bits fitted including all the models I got over the 4 days.  
Nice to see you again Nick.

those rotor blades look more like canoe paddles......

Nice set of pics ! Love that big Barracuda model on the floor. The rotor set looks pretty nice ! Is that a Wasp ? What are you going to do with them, hange them on the wall ?

Love that big Barracuda model on the floor.

And the RW Barracuda cowling just above it ---    all nicely restored --- does this mean there's a completely restored Barracuda in the works ?
