We have this 2 Squadron patch on display at the Bentwaters Cold War Museum and no we didn't put the stable through it !!. Three large patch display boards used to hang on the wall in the sheet metalwork shop in hangar 74 when Bentwaters was active, we now have them on show in the museum. [url=https:...

Found this shot of it at Flixton in 1977.

Picked up these six Fairford airshow patches recently which were sown onto a jacket, none of which i had in my collection

Lovin the pics :thumb:. Has there been any further news on when the A-10 will go into the HAS for its restoration/repaint? Cheers, TankBuster The A-10 will be repainted outside over winter (weather permitting) as our restoration H.A.S is full, it will be going back into the 509th TFS colours it wor...

Any idea why XV460 wasn't with the museum? Last time I saw the cockpit section is was gleaming and sat alongside XV497. The cockpit section of XV460 was moved out of the museums compound as we had a certain 'Tankbuster' jet to fit in. As it was on loan to us from a private owner (he owns the comple...

Nice shots Paddyboy. Was this an organised tour or is it open to public? This was on a guided walk around the airfield organised by the Bentwaters Cold War Museum with the kind permission of Bentwaters Parks who own most of the airfield. The museum is on the side of the base which is open to the pu...

Yes Jazz, we do intend to ground run the Jag and taxy it about but have no plans for any of the others to do the same.

Glad you enjoyed the day Patrick, it all went to plan and we even had a yellow Folland Gnat give us a brief look !! Great photos by the way. Cheers - Graham

I'm conducting another airfield walk on Sunday 22nd May, got five places left.

I also hope to do another at the end of September/early October, just keep an eye out on the BCWM website or facebook page.

Cracking set Paddy, everything went for us with the great weather, American Bob being available, Lazy Company re-enactors and access to all areas that i requested from Bentwaters Parks, so a big thanks to them all.

Cheers - Graham

Hi Graham I should have realised that you were a fellow FCer :thumbs: Brilliant pictures there, hope you have some more you can post for us..... :P Good to see photos of when the base was alive :thumb: Got to agree with Darren and Paddy the museum is fantastic and the walk was brilliant, and I know...

Thanks Darren, Glad you enjoyed the walk around the old base and i will organise another couple of them next year. Seems very quiet there now compared to all the hustle and bustle of when it was active.

I have scanned some of my prints (hence the low quality) of visiting aircraft that came into RAF Bentwaters during the 1980's http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/ww255/rafbentwaters/20-03-2013%20165923.jpg http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/ww255/rafbentwaters/21-04-2013%20213726.jpg http://i725.phot...

If there's no room for the T-33, it would look good in 81st TFW colours at the Bentwaters Cold War Museum
