East Midlands Aeropark Musuem 10Jly21

[gtf4j2m]

An excellent museum, lots I hadn't photographed before, but nothing in the book to trouble the scorers. The Meteor WM224 I had seen in service with 5 CAACU at Woodvale in the late 60's and early 70's. The Chipmunk WP784 was last noted with Leeds UAS at Woodavle in October 1971. The Vampire XD447 I was involved in the restoration of this aircraft from 1974 - 82. The Provost T.1 WW442 and Jet Provost XN492 I first logged at Halton as Instructional fames in 1974.

The board by the aircraft identifies this as 'XJ714'. Its a complex hybrid aircraft which I believe has little or no relationship to XJ714.

Nice photos. Not visited the museum in a while- the exhibits all look in surprisingly good condition for being sat outside!

Lovely shots Graham, three there I need, work never takes me further north than Reddith/Bromsgrove so might have to wangle a couple of hours one day and visit

Nothing new for me Graham, but well worth a visit and not that far from Bromsgrove area. I retired last month so I can go where I want when I want.
