Next to the South African Air Force Museum building the museum also has a active workshop in one of the big aircraft hangers. Some of the planes in the hanger belong to the museum while others belong to aircraft enthusiast and is in for maintenance and repairs. I recognised one of the planes in the hanger (Bad Attitude, a Hawker Fury FB11) as one of those used during the recent Port Elizabeth Airshow and featured on Max's blog.
That's a good looking beauty - what a machine!
ReplyDeleteAs Leif so rightly says this is a beauty, not that I would want to try to fly one onto a carrier. Not that have ever piloted a plane, I cannot help but admire anyone who could do this.
ReplyDeleteMy uncle worked at Filton near Bristol where this was I think made.
I agree with the two previous comments: a beautiful craft.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo Firefly. I would hate to be the one who had to polish that!
