2016 More Museum displays GB

[lancfan]

Just giving the idea a further bump to remind everyone- for aircraft this can include museum exhibits of complete machines or cockpit sections, but it can include any type of machine displayed in museums or owned privately, railway locomotives, cars, boats, submarines, military vehicles, trams, anything ! We are now three in number and we need five more to make the minimum so if you're still in please leave a post to confirm.

As long as it would be late in the year I will join up. Just too many GBs I want to take part in early in the year.

We are now four down and four to go for the minimum and yes, the date poll will be for the second half of the year as the first half is too full.

Bump!
We are still four down on the minimum head count, do we want to move over to a Shared Build on this?.

Looks like it, unless you can drum up more business.

I love the concept, but cannot find the time or more importantly a good idea .... Sorry ...

I will be in with something from the IWM in London, are you including Gate Guards this year.

[lancfan]

As a gate guard is a restored or replica machine openly displayed (even RAFM Hendon has gate guards, IWM Lambeth has too if you include the Naval guns on display outside) there is no reason why you should not build one here Chip, go for it.

Thanks David, in that case I will be building Spitfire RW388 during it’s time as a ‘Gate Guardian’ at RAF Andover in the 1960s.

I had an idea for this one, but I want to run it by others first.

What about a travelling exhibit/recruitment tool?

The RAF used to haul around two Spitfire Mk.XVIs for these duties, and they were painted in a variety of schemes over the years.

Would they be eligible? They're not gate-guards, nor strictly speaking museum exhibits, so I'm a bit fuzzy on this one.

[lancfan]

They are both now owned by the BBMF and one is flown for the public. In the old Exhibition flight days they were taken by road to various venues to be displayed to the public so I suppose we could call them travelling historic exhibits. I rather Fancy building TB382 myself at some point. Why not, go for it Daren.

Sweet.

TE311 was one of the first Spits I remember getting up close to (RIAT Fairford, 1993), and I well remember the scheme it carried.

I'm sure I must have something suitable for this one, count me in.
