Royal Air Force Museum London - 5th March 2023

[Pen Pusher]

First visit of the year and a few reference photos as there is a bit of a change in the Historic Hangars as H5 is being rearranged to host a Bomber Command exhibition due to open in May 2023. The front of the Historic Hangars is covered in scaffolding and entrance to those is through Hangar 6, just like the old days except there is no white plastic tent to walk through. Some of the remains of Short Stirling B.III/LK488 have been brought out of storage and look as though they are being used for a display on Bomber Command losses.

Thanks for sharing these, it's about ten years since my last visit. Maybe time to revisit this summer. I thought that the FW190 had departed to Berlin for its loan to whichever museum is receiving it.
