[Typhoon-MKV]

A big thank you to the Volunteer helper who showed us around - he claimed to work there, but had the cleanest pair of overalls on I have ever seen :D :D


Is that overspray I see on that tail :eek: :D

No CFBC you cannot take it home.

[The Defiant Man]

Very nice Mr Typhoon......you two have certainly had a busy day... :)

[CFBC]

I DID try and smuggle the one in Tiffies pics home, but it looked a bit too suspect in the back of the car...:D

However, I think this one could have been a safer bet!! :)

A thank you does go out to the Mossie helper of the day. Think we took "the shine" off the new overalls, not the boots!! ;)

This place deserves our support lads..... So do the volenteers, helpers and the board that run it... They had some very nice "signed" prints and pieces that are certificated from the prototype Mosquito. A great charity.

Well worth a vist. :)

[spock1]

IWell worth a vist. :)

:D Nice pictures chaps. Any possibility of letting us know where the place is please ? :)

[CFBC]

Not a problem at all...

Try:- http://www.dehavillandmuseum.co.uk/

M25, Jct 22... Salisbury Hall. Very nice place, but only open part time... 20 minutes from the London museum on a bad day... :D

Mr Spock1. :)

[NeilD]

yes, and opens at 14.00 on a Saturday, NOT 12.00 like what I thourght..!! :o :D
been a couple of years since I last went, but I can only reinforce CFBC's recomendation to have a look round.. nice Dove on the gate, a trident, front end of a Comet, Sea Vixen, Hs125... and of course several examples of 'the balsa wood bomber' !!! :p Mr Martin Bull is also a fan of the place I understand, which should be recomendation enough for anyone! :p
Neil.

[Typhoon-MKV]

A few more....

:)

[DCRanger]

It seems that arriving too early is a common occurrence at this place. I did the same thing when I called in a few years ago on the way back from a trip to France. I was spotted as I was about to leave and given a conducted tour.

Well worth a visit.

[Martin Bull]

Cor - must get down there sometime ! :D ;)

[CFBC]

D/C... We arrived down there at 9.30ish with a three car/van tailback... Now if that was Up-North it would have been a traffic jam, but down South it was more of a tailback.... It then eventually turned into a car park.... Reminded me of the M25..... :D (just joking).

Had to get Typhie to guide me around.. Not used to being that far South.. Even he got confused too.... :rolleyes:

[Agent X20]

Thing I find remarkable about that place is that it is about 5 miles away from the main De Havillands aerodrome at Hatfield where initial Mossie production commenced. As Hatfield was attracting Luftwaffe attention, development work then commenced on the night fighter version at Salisbury Hall which is basically a manor house surrounded by rolling farm fields..whilst it aint hilly it aint exactly level.....with the prototype n/f being built there. Having assembled said machine, rather than break it up and take it by road to Hatfield, which would have lost valuable time.. it was flown straight out the field.. 10 mins later it was at Hatfield..

Trouble is .. it will be all thats left of Hatfield... apart from a few road names, be bugger all of it left by the time the developers get their way... :mad: :mad: :mad: Even the Comet Hotel, sorry Ramada Jarvis..has a solitary Comet print hanging in its entrance way.... progress.. bah humbug...

Used to be great fun as a kid... Victors at Radlett.. and then Tridents at Hatfield..

[Martin Bull]

Thought I'd recycle this thread instead of starting a new one.....;)

The Mossie Museum ( sorry, De Havilland Heritage Centre ) opened its doors to the public again today after the Winter lay-off. FBVI TA122 has now had its fuselage painted in the colours it carried during WWII and looks good alongside B.35 TA634 ;


http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/jgfive/MossieMuseum/MossieMus007.jpg

( Note the overspray ! :p )


Work is progressing well on the wing of the FBVI : here's the Museums' Richard Benham and Colin Ewer cutting yet another sheet of ply to fit...


http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/jgfive/MossieMuseum/MossieMus008.jpg


The great thing about the Museum is that you can get very close to the exhibits....


http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/jgfive/MossieMuseum/MossieMus009.jpg



Someone on another Forum had asked just exactly what did a Pathfinder Mossie Navigator do ? ...and I was able to have a long chat with Reg Davey ( ex-139, 627 Squadron ) and got the 'gen' from the horse's mouth.

Quite a nice start to the 'season'...roll on March 17 at Duxford ! :)

[CFBC]

Thanks for the pics MB - Very :cool to see.

(Have amended thread title to suit) :)

Please feel free to post anymore pics as you see fit! ;) :)

[Dutchie]

Nice thread Typhoon!:)

[Red 2]

Lovely stuff, MB. Several years since I last visited and I feel a re-visit is long overdue.

More pics would be great as and when.:cool:

[von hitchofen]

Hey CFBC
i'm SURE that Mossie's the wrong shade of yellow, you know :LOL:

[mbv]

Just saw this museum advertised in Flypast with a free entry voucher, must pay a visit this year if I can. There are some nice WWII colour pics of Mossies in the back of this months copy of the Aeroplane mag - all part of an ad for the new Crecy Publishing 2 volume work on the Mossie which looks pretty amazing if you are a Mossie fan - literally 100s of photos!

[Martin Bull]

The book is still available from Amazon at a very generous discount.:) Author/editor Ian Thirsk is on the board of the Mosquito Museum and the amount of work which went into the photo captions was just amazing......the book is certainly not a quick hack job......

[Sailor.]

We are hoping to visit on May 30th. looks like I'll need an extra roll of film! :wacko:

[Martin Bull]

When the weather's good - which it certainly wasn't last Sunday - the hangar doors are opened leaving TA634 almost outside allowing for good photos. ( It used to be buried at the rear of the hangar and there was quite a battle with the Civils enthusiasts to have the B.35 in pride of place....;) )

[von hitchofen]

The book is still available from Amazon at a very generous discount.:) Author/editor Ian Thirsk is on the board of the Mosquito Museum and the amount of work which went into the photo captions was just amazing......the book is certainly not a quick hack job......

It is a work of great diligence and commitment - I have read many a Mossie book in my time and 90% of the photos were new to me - no great revelations in the [minimal] text but its still a story worth telling

[prune]

You're right MB,damn good discount.I've just ordered it and a new copy can be had cheaper than a second hand.

[mbv]

You're right MB,damn good discount.I've just ordered it and a new copy can be had cheaper than a second hand.

Just ordered volume 1 and 2 together from Amazon for £29.66 inc postage. Thats about £6.50 cheaper than the Aeroplane mag offer for both. Thanks for the heads-up on the Amazon deal MB :)

[Martin Bull]

MEMO TO SELF

Speak to Ian about that commission cheque next time I'm up at the Museum....;)

[Red 2]

Yup, just ordered the set from Amazon....:D Nice one, MB!

[mbv]

Got the books in the post yesterday, both excellent volumes! Vol.1 is paperback while 2 is hardback. The chapter of colour photos in Vol.2 is very impressive and should prove useful for bashing Corgi over their paint schemes :D

[Martin Bull]

Managed to squeeze in a visit to the MM today. The cockpit of the FBVI is now fast approaching completion and Mosquito Team Leder, ex-BBMF man Bob Glasby was painstakingly checking electrical connections.

Here he is, checking the main armament relay boxes.....

http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/jgfive/MossieMuseum/cat094.jpg


Luckily, these weren't loaded.....

http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/jgfive/MossieMuseum/cat087.jpg

And here's a view of the Mosquito bomber 'hot seat'....

http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/jgfive/MossieMuseum/cat095.jpg

[CFBC]

Great pics MB! Lovely to see... Must get down there again and have a ponder again...

Perhaps a Forum meet-up sometime and a show around by MB Tours? :D

[Martin Bull]

Be happy to arrange it - I have fond memories of the first time you and Mike came down....

[Red 2]

Count me in for the MB escorted tour!:cool:

Visited the museum once before about 12 years ago when we took it in on a whistlestop Legends weekend before flying back to Aberdeen. One of those childhood ambitions fulfilled to actually touch a Mossie.

Can't wait...

[Agent Carr]

Fantastic pictures. Would be great to spend a day with someone knowledgeable about the subject in such an excellent museum.

[CFBC]

I took a visit to the Mosquito Museum a few weeks ago whilst down that way for a couple of days R&R. Mrs was not aware of my full intentions until the day, but it was miserable and drzzling at the time and I was only allowed one hour to get around the pace as I had the Mrs in tow too!

Here are a few pictures:

Apologies :o for not posting sooner, but with work and everything else going on at present I simply have not had the time. I hope you enjoy them.

I did see the memorial too with mssing prop, :( Very sad indeed that it has come to this and also a few signs around saying cockpits closed etc due to parts going missing....

I could have spent another hour or so there, but with a foot tapping Mrs CFBC close behind me, then time was limited... :D

[von hitchofen]

mmmmmmmmm de Haviland


great photos CFBC! ;)

[Martin Bull]

Dashed up to the Museum today to get some photos of FB.VI TA122...because just a few days ago, fuselage and wing were successfully mated ( something many thought might never happen ). TA122 now actually looks like an aircraft again, rather than a kit of parts.....

http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/jgfive/MossieMuseum/MossieMuseum012.jpg

Two of the Museum's senior figures (and distinguished Mosquito authors both) Ian Thirsk and Philip Birtles admire the result - in front of them is a beautifully-restored bomb-bay door...

http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/jgfive/MossieMuseum/MossieMuseum003.jpg

The Brownings were temporarily removed during the lifting process to minimise weight ; they'll soon be re-fitted and so (it is hotly rumoured) will be some cannon.....

http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/jgfive/MossieMuseum/MossieMuseum008.jpg

It's incredible to think that the wing section was found many years ago, in very derelict condition on a Kibbutz in Israel. Colin Ewer ( in red shirt ) has put in many hundreds of hours of hard work on the wing and is justifiably proud of the result...

http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/jgfive/MossieMuseum/MossieMuseum005.jpg


There's much work still to be done, of course - but nearly all parts have now been sourced. Next job is the undercarriage so that the aircraft can sit on its wheels again for the first time in 60 years. All in all, quite a landmark in the story of this genuine WWII veteran airframe, and the only FB.VI in the Northern Hemisphere.....

[fozzy45]

Well done MB and thanks for posting I found the pictures really facinating.

[CFBC]

Great pics, lovely to see and thanks for the report MB... :cool

I take it Mrs MB was off visiting somewhere today! :D

[prune]

but nearly all parts have now been sourced.

Suprised they let you in then:LOL:

[Grim Reaper]

Suprised they let you in then:LOL:

He was handcuffed first :D and then a full body search when he left :LOL: :LOL:

[Grim Reaper]

Nice photos MB

[charley]

A little trip I think next weekend!

Well done, she's looking superb!

[Martin Bull]

A quick call-in today in very summery weather ; shop doing really well on ice-creams !

TA122 really starting to come together well now - quite a lot of the undercarriage now in place plus the rad fairings to give the aircraft a more recognizable look ( note tyre ready and waiting, plus beautifully-restored .303 ammo boxes lying on table ....) .....

http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/jgfive/MossieMuseum/MossieMus013.jpg

The TA122 team were hard at work restoring a pair of Mossie wheels - rare items these, made from magnesium alloy.....:unsure:

http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/jgfive/MossieMuseum/MossieMus010.jpg

And a recently-donated handbuilt 1/6-scale model of B.MkIX 'F' ( the highest-mission Mossie which was destroyed in Canada post-war ) was being manouevred in by John Stride and Bob Glasby...

http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/jgfive/MossieMuseum/MossieMus006.jpg

A good spring-clean is underway with a more focussed approach to 'key projects' which means that some large items will be disappearing into 'deep storage'. I went for a stroll 'round the back to look at some of these objects which have been hidden in undergrowth. Like this huge RR Avon 208 jet engine from a Sea Vixen....

http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/jgfive/MossieMuseum/MossieMus011-1.jpg

I even did some work for a change (:wacko: ) helping to push a Venom and some engines around before buying a book in the shop as usual and heading for home....;)

[Martin Bull]

So, instead of going to Duxford I popped up to the Mossie Museum ; much more relaxed this week after the frenzied signing event last Sunday :unsure:

Since the wing/fuselage of TA122 was mated, great strides have been made ; here's a quick photo-update....

http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/jgfive/MossieMuseum/MossieMus014.jpg

Here's a general view ; note the two pristine Rolls-Royce Merlins....

http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/jgfive/MossieMuseum/MossieMus022.jpg

Last time I referred to the very rare wheels ; they've now gone from this....

http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/jgfive/MossieMuseum/MossieMus026.jpg



...to this.....

http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/jgfive/MossieMuseum/MossieMus024.jpg


Here's a good example of the work carried out at the Museum ; a complete outer wing leading edge. As with so much of this work, when the aircraft is complete and on display - no-one will be able to see it ! :(

http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/jgfive/MossieMuseum/MossieMus018.jpg

And the view that everyone likes...

http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/jgfive/MossieMuseum/MossieMus027.jpg

With a little luck and a lot of effort, these may be joined by 4 Hispanos and by this time next year TA122 may be sitting on its undercarriage for the first time in 50+ years......

[Tiffie K N-L]

Great pictures MB really nice to see the wooden wonder come back to life up close very very nice. I wish I had place`s like this to visit close to me. :)

Is she going to be airworthy or for static display only?

[Martin Bull]

Strictly static this one, as the wings were sawn off back in the 1950s...:(

To put it another way, putting it into static condition, the cost overall will be in the tens of thousands - to put it into flying condition would cost in the low millions......:eek:

[Martin Bull]

A quick social 'call-in' to the Mossie Museum today...all wrapped up for the winter & much to do to get everything ready for re-opening to the public in March...

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/jgfive/MossieMuseum/MossieMus015.jpg

I'd noticed some lively debate on here about Tiger Moths recently, so I thought I'd go and find one specially for the Forum to argue about ! :D

[Martin Bull]

WARNING : Post for Mossie Nutters Only.

The good news from the Mossie Museum is that the FB.VI engines will shortly be stuck onto the wings......for the first time in over 50 years.....:wacko:

Had some fun digging exhaust stubs out of the stores last Sunday. TA122 was originally going to have the early 'trombone' manifolds with exhaust shrouds (boring !). It was finally decided that everyone associates the FB.VI with five-stub exhausts as used on the Amiens Raid, etc. Post-war Mossies have six-stub exhausts : -

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/jgfive/MossieMuseum/MossieMus009.jpg

This is actually fun for me as I well remember the trouble over getting five-stub ones on Corgi's Gibson Mossie - Mr Wong kept reverting to a six-stub 'default position':rolleyes: Anyhow, the prototype Mossie at the Museum will have the 'trombones', the B.35 has the six-stubs in the above pic. The two-into-one stubs are as rare as hen's teeth, and here they are with years of cobwebs removed...

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/jgfive/MossieMuseum/MossieMus030.jpg

And here's Mossie Team Leader Bob Glasby trying to make up a set...

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/jgfive/MossieMuseum/MossieMus031.jpg

It's getting there..............;)

[DCRanger]

I would never describe myself as a Mossie nutter but still find this kind of post interesting. Good stuff Martin.:)

Need to get a move on with the tidying up - it's March next week!

[Martin Bull]

I know ! I've been press-ganged into going up again this Sunday ( Mrs B les than amused....:unsure: )

[Grizzly Adams]

Great stuff, I wish I had the time to be able to volunteer for such projects, maybe in a few years time when things calm down a wee bit. Not really knowing anything about the Centre are any of the Mossies going to be restored to flying condition?

[prune]

It there's an exhaust stub left over,I'm sure we all know who it'll be going home with:D

[Martin Bull]

Not really knowing anything about the Centre are any of the Mossies going to be restored to flying condition?

Nope. :( Prototype is too valuable and is in fact listed as a 'National Treasure' :wacko: . TA122 - main spar was cut in half many years ago. B.35 - possible delamination means it'd never get a CAA permit to fly.

Main hope lies with the New Zealand ones and yes...they are replicas.:unsure:

[fozzy45]

Will they be able to do ground running? Fireing up those Merlins and doing taxi runs would be a bit special.

[Martin Bull]

That was the original idea, but the Insurance companies wanted £gazillions to offer any cover. Seems they're not too keen on the idea of firing up 2 x 1500hp Merlins in a wooden frame in the very constricted space available at the Museum.

However, great care has been taken to replace all original wiring, instruments, pumps etc in perfect order. So maybe, possibly, one day......................:unsure:

[fozzy45]

Cheers MB lets hope so but even if not they really are a credit to those who have been spending so much time on them. It might be a labour of love but it is still a heck of a commitment and the results do much credit to all concerned. Must go and visit as soon as I am able:)

[The Defiant Man]

What about the one being (re)built at Elvington? I know it isn't going to fly but will that one be able to do engine runs?

[Martin Bull]

I'd be very surprised. The Elvington NF.II is a brilliant re-creation but I'm not sure that it has the structural integrity to run engines.....:unsure:

[The Defiant Man]

Shame....and you're probably right (just checked & it doesn't give a hint either way on the website).....

[Martin Bull]

It's amazing really just how complicated it gets - you need fully functioning electrics, fuel lines, fuel pumps, magnetos, filters, instruments, extinguishers......

All of which makes you realise just what a truly stunning job the 'Just Jane' guys at East Kirkby have done. Serious respect ! :cool:

[KO-B]

Shame....and you're probably right (just checked & it doesn't give a hint either way on the website).....

I'm pretty sure I've read that it is the intention to have the Elvington Mossie rebuilt to taxi-able condition.
There was a recent thread on the Key forum about Mossie rebuilds which I think mentioned this. Unfortunately it descended into a rather silly bunfight (again :rolleyes:), so a lot of the interesting info got 'buried'.

KO-B

[Martin Bull]

I've just been browsing the relevant thread on Key ( first time I've been there for ages). It's a shame - the thread starts out with really informed comment and sensible discussion and then - as nearly always seems to be the case - degenerates into one-line 'oh yes you did oh no I didn't' stuff :rolleyes:

If the Mossie Museum had a pound for every time someone asked 'Are any of these going to fly?' there'd be one in the air right now.....

The loss of RR299 was one of the saddest Warbird accidents and we'd all love to see a Mossie in the skies again. It's a very. very difficult thing and a LOT of money would be needed ( and people ! It's tough just to find anyone to volunteer their spare time to sweep the floors or run the shop at the Mossie Museum :( ) ...and that includes me ; I can never spare the time I'd like to.

The DHAMT has to focus on something, and that is to restore and keep in public view the World's only surviving protype WWII aircraft and also the only surviving Mossie FB.VI. Sounds easy - but it isn't.:(

As an aside - the World of Warbird restoration is unbelievable for skullduggery ! :eek: Makes the Witty Javelin argument look like a kindergarten dispute.......If I repeated any of the gossip I hear, the Forum would be closed down for libel immediately................:unsure:

Absolutely - that grey bit behind me didn't fetch half as much on e-bay as I expected it to....;)

[Martin Bull]

I've been press-ganged into going up again this Sunday ( Mrs B les than amused....:unsure: )

Actually did something useful for a change and removed the 'saxophone' exhausts from the FB.VI Merlin 25's.....very fiddly ( imagine doing that sort of thing on a windy dispersal in Norfolk...:unsure: )

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/jgfive/MossieMuseum/MossieMus035.jpg


And if you've wondered why they're called 'saxophone' exhausts.....

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/jgfive/MossieMuseum/MossieMus042.jpg

:o

[Martin Bull]

Exhausts on - the first time that the five-stub layout has been seen on a UK Mosquito engine since the loss of RR299 in 1996. These are absolutely correct for the FB.VI.

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/jgfive/MossieMuseum/MossieMus043.jpg


TA133 is looking more and more like a complete aircraft - we're all dead keen to see the engines in place.

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/jgfive/MossieMuseum/MossieMus045.jpg


Today was the first day of 2012 when the Museum's open to the public. Do try to visit if you're down this way ! :)

[Craig]

Great shots, but I reckon that Sax pose was all part of your ploy to get it up your jacket... :unsure: :rolleyes: ;) :D

[tsr2]

I've driven past this museum so many times over the past 30 years, but have never been in :wacko: This is the year :)
