Ulster Aviation Society
Bral,
The Ulster Aviation Society are not those who have allowed these aeroplanes to rot. You are talking about the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum at Cultra. The Ulster Aviation Soc are enthusiasts who have tried as Hairyplane has tried to bust these things out of the museum. By the way the Folk museum also have a Short"twin gipsy queen flying boat whose name escapes me" perhaps seaford perhaps not that is also rotting beautifully.
They are more interested in butter churns from the 1850's than aeroplanes and this is typical when you have a round peg in a square hole problem. The Hawk is not a "core" exhibit.
Question for all you out there however. How did they make the moulded nose cone on the Short s16 scion. On VH-UTV I have an aluminium one of the wrong shape which requires remaking. Was it Paper mache or a massive bakalite moulding. Any Ideas?
