Yes, as aircraft museums go, it is very well provided with aircraft. But they're all meant to be different.

Now i'm confused , with only 6 allowed to be together indoors and a crew of 7, who do we leave behind?
Sorry all crew are important so all flights cancelled till C19 is defeated. !
Oh for a leader like Churchill to guide us through these dark times....

On the Carrier the flight deck and hangar space use small models of the aircraft to aid planned movements. All went well till Hoskins dropped the board....

The Result is ...
... difficult to choose! A goodly collection of predictable offerings, although I was surprised there wa no allusion along the lines of "Imperial Airways lays up aircraft due to lack of demand during the COVID-45 epidemic."

What intrigues me is that you HAD to go & count them didn't you!

Thank you MPN11! Always glad to welcome home the CST to the Buster Building. (I decided not to go with House......)

Anyway, I have been fortunate enough to be a recent winner, so I am more than happy to let Nutty have a go, or Open House.....
