A bit heathazy and an awkwardly placed sun, but they came out OK :)

Everyone needs a bit of VC-Tenderness ;)

Nope. Hardly what one could call work...

Sorry I couldn't pop by Mic. Had to go down the my "local" bank 26 miles away, so spent the afternoon elsewhere!

If any go to museums I would expect that they would go to Cosford, that's really the only one big enough. Duxford already has one.

Maybe East Fortune? They have quite a bit of outdoor space.....

Realistically Cosford, Duxford and East Fortune are the only ones, except maybe Manchester and somewhere abroad. Cosford had a BA one til last year when it was scrapped. Duxford's isn't an IWM aircraft as such either, so maybe some space could be made outside now the extended hangar is open.

Just have to keep our fingers crossed - hopefully whoever is in charge of the inevitable disposal is forward thinking enough to ensure a couple of airframes are kept for future generations. IMO at least a C1K and one of the K3's (ZA150, seeing as it was the last '10 produced would seem a logical candidate).

One of my favorites, and a veddy veddy British classic... hope it keeps flying for a long time.
