>> Wow - I didn't realize so much stuff was stored at the Wroughton airfield museum.  I knew about the aircraft, but not all the other stuff.  This would be a cool place to visit!  On one of my visits to Wroughton (back when I was with World Airways) Gramp and I went by to see the museum, but unfortunately it was closed that day.  Back then the museum entrance was over on the SW side of the airfield (on the road to Avebury) - but it now appears that the museum has taken over the whole airfield and the main hangars on the road to Barbury Castle?

>> I love the warning placard, which essentially says:  "Use requires 2 people of which 1 must be competent!"  :-)

>> Lockheed Constellation is unusual (i.e., not British).  Comet and Trident are good.

>> I like the old buses too.
