RAF Coltishall Paint Shop Pictures?

Post by Will24 » Fri Apr 21, 2017 8:48 pm

Hi all,

Just wondered if anyone has any photos of the spray shop at colti? :whistle:

As you no this is now an ex raf base and we are now the new tenants :thumb:

Would just like to see some photos of it back in its day!

Thanks all,
Will

Will, I'm the curator of the Coltishall Collection at the ADRM at Neatishead, away this week but will look for some pictures of the paint shop when I'm next at the museum.

Good evening Will I am an ex RAF painter and finisher and my good friend Paul was a SNCO that ran the paint shop at Colt and he has got some great pictures from his time in charge there.Are you continuing to use it as a paint shop?

Hi mate, :clap:

in a way we are, but we have had a spray booth fitted inside for automotive use so we're are using the shell of the ex colti booth as our unit :whistle:

I will post a few pictures of what she looks like now!
Would you be able to get hold of anything at all?

Cheers
Will
