Country: | Great pics, looks like a first-rate museum. I didn't know there were any Defiants still around! I'd love to see it. Well, that and everything else, of course.

Country: | Nice pics. Hendon is well worth a visit if you can (and its free entry - at least was).

Country: | I wonder if they are going to fly Black 6 up there again. I doubt it after she was rebuilt after the crash some years back.

Country: | Very. nice. Thanks for sharing.. cool to see a defiant.
What is the significance of the burned out plane? Bristol Mercury engine? Was that specific aircraft of historical significance?
A Malta defender perhaps? One of the brave little Gladiators?

| Going from memory it was found at the bottom of a Fjord in Norway. It was operating from the frozen water when the German bombed the lake, broke the ice and down it went.
You will now find that I am totally wrong and someone set fire to it after a heavy night out. | |

Country: | Haha, the dangers of mixing alcohol and aviation. Funny, Glider.
I wonder how many Salamanders are left today? That would be something to see.

Country: | Great pics. That salamander is a rare bird.
These little WAC's look so tiny next to those Mighty Mustangs.
