A few more pics before concluding the tour in the next instalment.
The first four shots are in the Archives building, which not only holds a lot of records and information, but has a number of interesting displays, a couple of which are shown here.
PICS 1 and 2. This is a map showing aircraft crashes in Yorkshire during WW2, with each 'spot' representing an incident, and different coloured 'spots' for nationality, type of incident etc. Mick's hand in the second pic gives some idea of the area covered, and just how many crashes there were - staggering! Below the map are records books, documenting each crash, with date, aircraft type, cause, etc etc.
PIC 3. A general view of part of the Archives displays, with Jan and Karl viewing one of the glass-fronted cabinets.
PIC 4. Some of the Luftwaffe artefacts on display.
And back outside for some more pics of some of the aircraft, some of which were posted earlier, diffused by rain!
PIC 5. Tucked behind the hangar is this Handley Page Herald turbo- prop airliner.
PIC 6. Gloster Javelin FAW 9 - the 'Flying Flat Iron'.
PICS 7 and 8. BAe Harrier GR3.
PIC 9. Dassault Mirage IIIE
PIC 10. Panavia Tornado GR1. This is the prototype, ZA354, built at Warton, UK.
The next post will conclude the tour, and show some of the buildings and general area, as well as the Memorials. Thanks again for your interest, and back soon!
