Yep - 31 ish and very humid, but sunny today despite forecasts of storms. Spent an hour at the Air Force Museum today - nice machines in there sadly rotting away.

Hope you took some pics.

I'm not going to be greedy and take the OH just yet - I'm sure RD will be along later.

I see what you mean.

Why do people not preserve historic aircraft under cover?

Martin,

I'm old enough to remember when the first MiG-25R was seen by the West.

Everyone was worried about it's claimed M2.5 speed, until it was realised it could only sprint that for two minutes or so.

I know, particularly when the whether is always hot, hot, hot!!!! There were lots of others inside - Hunter, Spitfire, Hurricane, Ouragan, Mystere IVA, MIG-21, SU-7, Fury, Lysander, etc.... However, all suffer from the Indian way of hand painting everything, and also their heath robinson way of restoring things!!!!

Tell me what it is, and I'll withdraw it. Didn't see on the List.
