We have agonised for a long time about applying silver with rollers, but the #NAMrestoration team working on the Ashton have proved that it can be done - plus it's a genuine scheme worn by #XS417

Amongst the frenetic atmosphere of #CockpitFest25 it wasn’t un-noticed that #NAMrestoration work has started on the repaint of #Lightning #XS417 – give the successful silver application to the #Ashton a painted 56 Sqn scheme beckons!

Fairey Gannet AEW3, an early warning aircraft flown of British aircraft carriers in the 1960s and 1970s is being restored at the museum
It’s good to see that some more #NAMrestoration work has been carried out on #Gannet #XP226 – under wing surfaces painted & more markings applied
