When I stepped into this hanger, my breath was taken away. This whole half of the hangar was filled with airworthy aircraft. Spitfires, Hurricanes and much more. This was quickly replaced by frustration as the planes were tightly packed in, withonly one narrow walkway straight across the hangar. These photos give you an idea of what confronted me. in the first photo are Lysander III V9312 (G-CCOM), HA-1112 223 (G-AWHK), P-47D Thunderbolt 549192 (G-THUN) and Hurricane 1 P2902 (G-ROBT) and an unidentified Spitfire. In the second are Spitfire PR9 PL983 (G-PRXI) and Hurricane 1 R4118 (G-HUPW)
Amongst the planes were Hawker Fury K5674 (G-CZBP), Spitfire IX MH434 (G-ASJV), DH9 E8894 (G-CDLI), Spitfire VIII MT928 (G-BKMI), P-47D Thunderbolt 549192 (G-THUN), Nimrod II K3661 (G-BURZ), Yak-3 B-OLEG and Hurricane 1 P2902 (G-ROBT),
In the Sea and Air display were Wasp HAS1 XS567, Gannet ECM6 XG797, Firefly TT-1 Z2033, Royal Saudi air Force Strikemaster 1133, Eurofighter Typhoon ZH590 and Sea king HAS6 XV712
