I won't post a lot of pictures as I know some of you are frequent visitors to Cosford
but....
Everytime I go, I fall 'in love' with this 'old girl' again ;D :wub:

'Bob' is parked in a fenced off area next to the building (hanger?) to the right of the Hercules as you look at it from the main car-park
Here's another picture taken through the fence for people who like 'bits' of planes

Excuse the join in the photo, couldn't manage it all in one shot :lol: It's a shame there isn't a way of putting a viewing/photography gallery up in this hanger :unsure:

Super stuff there. :thumbsup:
And I think you're right about the Bristol M1, I can't remember seeing it at Cosford before. What pugnacious looking thing it is!
I've never seen any of that stuff before ! Of course I'm familiar with the name, but....lovely museum. Another place on my 'must see' list. Love the way the Hunter is mounted, and great to see the heavies there, especially the Britannia.
Thanks for sharing.....and please keep sharing !
:cheers:
PS-is there a kit of the Sea Baliol ?
Great photoset. :thumbsup: I'm glad to see the EAP has been resuced from anonymity at Loughborough University.

There's a even better one just caught behind it. It's my favourite museum mounting of an aircraft, a Lightning standing on it's tail. It makes it hard to photograph and even harder to view, but... :wub:
Here's a pic from teh web:

AFAIK there's almost no visual difference between the Sea Balliol and the land version apart from the hook. But Special Hobby do both versions :-

Cosford does have another Hunter....not in quite such an excellent state of preservation ... it's actual gate guard
(https://www.whatifmodellers.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi366.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Foo107%2Fknightflight_2008%2FOther%2520Stuff%2Fcosford13.jpg&hash=ba982a1a9940eb1a817bae31eadacd988a5dbc23) (http://s366.photobucket.com/user/knightflight_2008/media/Other%20Stuff/cosford13.jpg.html)
info on the above from the excellent Thunder & Lightnings site
http://www.thunder-and-lightnings.co.uk/hunter/survivor.php?id=241
And another roof hanger.....

More info and another picture of the above
http://www.thunder-and-lightnings.co.uk/javelin/survivor.php?id=688
and the Lightning Mossie mentioned (my picture wasn't that good :-\ )
http://www.thunder-and-lightnings.co.uk/lightning/survivor.php?id=29
Looks like they've shuffled some of the exhibits in the test aircraft hangar?
I didn't even notice the Lightning in the original pic ! Wow ! And that's a natural pose for an aeroplane as powerful as that one.
The Javelin display is nice as well. An aero with a shape like that is a natural up in the 'air' like that.
Thanks !
:cheers:

There are a number of Hunters flying in Canada, all ex-Swiss IIRC

It's always given me the impression of a snappy Bull Terrier biting at your heels. Must build my kit of it one day
