The Avro Ashton fuselage has scaffolding around it to allow for its safe painting.

The scaffolding around the fuselage of #Ashton #WB491 from the pressure bulkhead (beach ball) end! 😂
This will allow the #NAMrestoration work to progress safely.

The scaffolding will be erected around the fuselage of #Ashton #WB491 on Tues 29 April – here are some photos that show the internal condition when it arrived from Woodford in 2002 & then after some #NAMrestoration work.
