World aviation museum and gate guard map

[reddfoxx]

Thanks folks!  We'll see if I have time to add all that today; if not, I am off next week so will definitely be working on this.

We have about 950 sites so far, so should hit 1000 this weekend.  There are about 85 people in the Facebook group.  I am thinking of doing a giveaway for our 100th member- I have a spare copy of The Fob's Kid Syndrome on my shelf- so please sign up, and tell your friends.  Someone will get it.

Three Boomerangs remain airworthy today, all in Australia:

    A46-122 CA-13 "Suzy Q" (VH-MHR) with the Temora Aviation Museum
    A46-206 CA-19 "Milingimbi Ghost" which was formerly with Lynette Zuccoli at Toowoomba until donated to the Museum of Australian Army Flying at the Army Aviation base located at the nearby town of Oakey is now on static display.
    A46-63 a CA-12 from 1943 first flew again on 26 June 2009 as VH-XBL. The restoration includes the provision of a passenger seat.

Several others are under restoration to fly in both Australia and the USA, which includes A46-90 currently being restored to airworthy status.[24][25]

A46-30, which has been restored but is not airworthy, is part of an exhibition at the Australian War Memorial.[26]

A full-scale airworthy replica with many original parts, painted as A46-139, was based in the United States (N32CS) for some years but was recently sold to the Netherlands. It is now in flying condition and based at Antwerp International Airport.[27][28]

The CAC Wirraway (originally NA-16-2K) was first modified to British standards and equipment, then later models diverged further from the NA-16 in minor details such as the fitting of dive brakes etc.
    The sole surviving CA-1 Wirraway is A20-10, the 8th production Wirraway, effectively a licence built NA-16-2K, and held at the Australian National Aviation Museum.[11]
    A total of 10 are on the Australian civil aircraft register.[12]
    Further museum examples (in Australia unless noted) are at Temora Aviation Museum, Australian National Aviation Museum, Aviation Heritage Museum, Museum of Victoria, Queensland Air Museum, RAAF Museum (Stored) and the Fantasy of Flight (Florida - stored).

...the Australian National Aviation Museum at Moorabin airport: http://www.aarg.com.au/...

Was there today.  It was pishing down so didn't get a chance to have a look at the outdoors stuff (although most of them would be best photographed from over the fence).
However, you drive in past a DC3, Bristol Freighter, Viscount, Wessex (looking sad with no rotors), Gannet, Meteor and Sabre.

I will return at a later date when the heavens have closed again.

I will get to work on those this weekend, thanks!  I know there are a lot to add.  I think I am getting close to having all of the museums; gate guards and air parks will be the next phase, and a big one.  I especially appreciate the precise locations; saves me time tracking them down.

TheChronicOne, I found another in OK: Stafford Air Museum.  http://staffordmuseum.org/

It was recently moved to the other side of the street, with new 1941 colours and insignia, due to extensive construction work in the area. Google Maps isn't nearly that up to date.

Wikipedia image, as it was until the recent move and repaint:

RAF Alconbury has a plastic F-5 as a gate guard. On Ermine Street next to the Grace Fellowship church.

RAF Lakenheath has an F-100 inside the gate on the Brandon Road, across from Starbucks. Go east along that road and see what's written on the roof....
RAF Croughton, Northants, has an F-105G and F-100D by the guard house.

At Beck Row there is a privately owned Hawker Hunter. Look for Suffolk Caravan Accessories and Pine Farm Kennels, halfway between Mildenhall and Lakenheath.

RAF North Weald has a plastic Hurricane as a gate guardian by the control tower.


RAF Leconfield is supposed to have a Meteor T.7 at the gate.

Wattisham Army Base have a Gazelle at the gate on Roman Road. There is now a Museum on the site with a Phantom, Hunter, Lightning cockpit, Westland Scout and a Lynx.

Portland Marina and Boatyard near Weymouth has a Lynx on display near Portland Yacht Club. The whole site was formerly HMS Osprey.

Google Imaging 'RAF gate guardians' comes up with well over 200 pics of allsorts of stuff, some on poles, some on wheels, one or two perched on roofs even! I could be typing for some time................
