It would have been 88 I think as I left early 89, they had just managed to evict a family of Gypies that had taken up residence in it earlier and had set up a lot of donated movement sensors around the aircraft, we supplied a complete set of new blanks for the aircraft as well as applying the coating with brushes. The museum was just in its infancy, looked around the work on the Wellington, visited the stratosphere chamber that was untouched and Barnes's office, a picture of us all was in the Brize magazine. We also took a Sherpa around the banked track.
