Hi Graham
nice pics.

I last went to this museum 2 years ago, but funnily enough I stayed in a hotel in the Lakeside complex about a mile away on Monday night, before visiting Yorkshire Wildlife Park on Tuesday.

Your Alan Mann JetRanger is G-TPTR.
The Wasp should be G-BZPP, XT793 as you have listed.

Eurodemobbed and MAM both list Harrier nose XV281 as being there- I have no idea how much of that frame exists!
Cheers
Phil

The Harrier P.1127 nose XV281 is incorporated with an unknown Harrier fuselage and has a GR.3 nose cone fitted as well, so I didn't bother logging it.

Thanks for confirming the other bits

Quite a list there Graham and a few I need, thanks for the photos too

Hi Graham, PlaneBase gives VW529 as based at the museum wearing BGA904 but that is, according to the list, a T8 Tutor

It also lists Auster J/1N Alpha G-AHHP as being under restoration so that might be the one in the workshop

[gtf4j2m]

Thanks for that Graham. T8 Tutor = Cadet TX.2 (a single seat). A little confusing, The Cadet TX.1 (twin seat) was the T.31. The museum had this as VW529 on which the trail I was following went cold in Germany many years ago.
I don't need the Auster but there a few here and I think more than one is being worked.

Thanks again
