hi,
planning on going to the Aero Expo at Wycombe Air Park, so now on their site there is maps of the static layout and hall diagram's, I also went to Airfields of Britain to orientate myself, and noticed between 2 hangars there is at least 4 possibly 5 fuselage's. The A of B view has 2017 date on, so are they there, viewable, and any id's, or has there been a clear out?
regards,
dave... |

Thanks Chris, Dave, it was my first visit to Booker for nearly 40 years so as you might imagine, everything we logged was needed. They usual grant airside access too and will sometimes let you view inside the hangars.

If you are planning on coming for AeroExpo I am led to believe most hangared residents will be removed and parked on the far side as the hangars will be in use for the event. There is a public path that runs near to this area but maybe they will close that during the event.
I will be there Saturday. Driving down from Norfolk on Saturday morning overnighting at LHR Saturday night so will be around the area for a couple of days.
Cheers
Mike B

hi morning,
just updating this thread, I went Booker on the Friday of Aero Expo the Meteor-c/pit and fuselage are now in a compound on the other side of the hangar quiet visible. There are a set of wings still between the hangars as seen in Graham Brown's photo above with WL345 fuselage leaning against them, can't make out if they are from WL345 so any id for these...
regards,
dave...
