Good evening everyone

A really very nice and interesting museum which houses quite a few gems in my opinion.

Some interesting light fell upon the aircraft when the sun came out and the back ground remained dark.

I do hope you find the following photo`s interesting and all comments gratefully excepted as always.

A few from inside

There has been an ongoing issue with paint reacting with an underlying layer, plus some previously applied paint stripper still leaching out from some spaces.

The photo's don't show, but there is a project aleady underway to mechanically sand the frame back to original paint, before repainting again. Additionally some more of the magnesium alloy access panels will be reskinned.

Hi guys

Many thanks for your comments and info... It's very much appreciated.

I can confirm that restoration is under way on the Voodoo, the small sign in front of the airframe states Aircraft Under Restoration.

Thanks again for the comments.
