a visit to the National Museum of Scotland...

hi,

a 2 day visit to Edinburgh with family, the airports down for another time, but in the above excellent museum I found these;

G-BGXB PA-38 Tomahawk,

G-AOEL Tiger Moth,

G-ARSL/VF581 Beagle Terrier,

902  Slingsby Gull Glider,

G-ACVA Kay Gyroplane,

and a Pilcher 1895 Hawk Glider, which should have a id (BAPC?) has it was a original which Percy Pilcher was killed flying, and has been restored, but I've not found any yet.

Alright it isn't Duxford or Wright Patterson, but any of the above could be massive gap-fillers, and finally it got me out of the wife's retail therapy...

regards,
