Fair point; with #NAMHangar2 we were able to get 16 airframes under cover - the choice of which airframes, was, where possible based on examples that were not already inside at the time in the UK - hence the building being designed to house the #Varsity
Our #NAMHangar2 was completed with a £453k grant from the HLF in 2003/4 - the building c/w penthouse cut out was designed to accommodate #Varsity #WF369 - today's poster is proud to have compiled the HLF bid!!
Photos taken after a reflective moment in #NAMHangar2 whilst trying to process yesterday’s shameful & uninformed comments by a supposed ally!

A couple of people off board have asked about Mick Clarke standing on the table, with his camera – taken during one of many '3-D' layout planning sessions for #NAMHangar2 back in 2003! Some aircraft pictured are for size only!!

Here it is earlier this year when it had a brief 'trip' outside to allow for an aircraft extraction from #NAMHangar2
A shiny finish to Shorts Tucano ZF372, which is displayed in our Hangar 2.
Great to see that our #Tucano #ZF372 has been receiving some great #NAMspruceUp attention in #NAMHangar2 - what wonderful volunteers we have!
The propeller is now fitted to the front of our Shorts Tucano aircraft in display Hangar 2
Nice to see some progress on fitting the propeller to our #Tucano #ZF372 - some great #NAMrestoration work by our talented volunteers

Something to tick things along on here - all taken in our #NAMHangar2 in May 2018 just as our #UniqueInUKatNAM Saab Viggen was coming to the end of its repaint!
Great to see some #NAMinDetail pictures taken on #ZA176 in #NAMHangar2
