Re: Monty visits the blokes....
Meant to say.................give you some idea on timings. I went into the Land Warfare hanger on one day alone if you are into tanks and vehicles thats the place. Also the American Hanger is amazing and takes another 4-5 hours, then you have everything in all the three WW1 hangers stuffed to the Gills with great Military stuff.
Currently hoping to open on the 1st August....we'll see, but distance should not be a problem its a massive site. Watch Battle of Britain, Duxford was the site used as they blew up the centre hanger as Hienkels went over which were on loan from the Spanish Air Force for reality, and a month later in 1968 a preservation order was placed on the whole site and sold to IWM.
I have spent a lot of time trying to get a Herc on site, nearly achieved it at the start of the year, but Brize wouldn't play ball as all movers were abroad on Ops. It was a Herc that landed wheels up in 2010 and had been sat there in a hangar ever since.
£10K would have bought it but it was refused.............the movers wanted more than the buying price........typical. One day one might fly in as its last flight.....I can only wish. What a brilliant thing that would be for us as a museum!
