Small Aircraft Museums

[PV Chairman]

That is wonderful, thank you thank you very much.

It makes me cry to see it. I wish that place could last forever, so many happy memories for me and my Dad there.

So that's what the camouflage pattern is on the top of the Meteor Mk.14! I never knew before.

Thanks again, you are wonderful mfg 495.

No problem my friend, I will be nice to know where the aircraft will go. Hopefully not to a scrap yard.

I see there are 2 Hunters
Canberra nose
Vulcan nose.
Meteor
Sea Vixen
Jet Prost
And I think a DH Vampire
Wessex SAR

There only the ones I can put names too.

Thanks mfg495.

Yes you are right with your list, plus the Harvard, BAC One-Eleven, Herald, Chichester-Miles Leopard, Sea Prince, Pembroke, and several visitors (the Museum occupies part of an active ramp at the airport and so there are usually visiting aircraft). Inside are several other aircraft including a Dragon Rapide, JP, Polish-built MiG-17, Gnat, Buccaneer, second Chichester-Miles Leopard, etc, plus several aircraft undergoing maintenance by an engineering company (the site is shared by the Museum and several active companies). All in all a big shame that the whole lot has to go.

The irony is, Bournemouth Airport says it needs the room for the car park due to its expansion caused by growing passenger numbers. At the very moment that it says this, it loses two of its main customers, ThomsonFly and Air Berlin, both of which are pulling out. And so the airport will lose most of its business at the very point it starts to expand. Crazy.
