  • The RAF Museum Avro Anson Identity Mix-Up AVRO ANSON Mk.1 VH-ASM
    Last updated 5.8.16 The RAF Museum Avro Anson identity mix-up This Anson Mk.1 fuselage is displayed at the RAF Museum at Hendon mounted on a RAF Queen Mary transporter.

  • Air Marshal Cliff Spink Profile
    Air Marshal Clifford Spink CB CBE FCMI FRAeS Cliff started his flying career on the Jet Provost at Cranwell followed by advanced flying training on the Gnat. A period of tactics/weapons training on the Hunter preceded his Operational Conversion Training on the Lightning at RAF Coltishall. He then served with 111(F) Sqn at RAF Wattisham flying the Mk3/5 Lightning (weekends were spent as CFI of the local Gliding Club). Following a weapons instructor course he was reposted to ‘Treble One’ before moving to 56(F) Sqn in Cyprus on the Mk 6 Lighting. It was during this period that the Turks invaded the island and 56 Sqn were heavily involved in the subsequent air operations. The squadron returned to Wattisham in 1975 and Cliff finally left the Lightning Force the following year, having amassed 1,300hours on the ‘most exhilarating rocket ship any young man could wish to fly’. A ground tour followed and during this period (playing truant from his desk) he reacquainted himself with the Chipmunk to stay sane. In 1979 a refresher on JP5 followed by some Hunter FGA 9 weapons training preceded his introduction to the Phantom FGR2 at Coningsby. After a short course it was back to 111(F) Sqn now flying a mix of FGR2/FG1 Phantom at RAF Leuchars. Cliff was to be associated on and off with the F4 for the next 10 years and this included 2 ½ years as the Squadron Commander of 74(F) Sqn, ‘The Tigers’, flying the F4J (UK), and a year in the Falklands as Station Commander of Mount Pleasant Airfield.

  • Mysterious Mils
    Summer 2020 MysteriousMissing MiG Mystery Mils Kamov & Ilyushin In mid June, aviation buffs in Victoria were treated to the sight of a Russian Ilyushin Il-76TD landing on a bright sunny day. This giant of the sky was here to transport one of Vancouver Island Helicopters Kamov-52 coaxial rotor helicopters to Indonesia. The Ilyushin is owned and operated by Volga Dnepr. It is a modernized and ICAO compliant version of the old Il-76 Candid used by the Soviet air force during the cold war. The Kamov helicopter will be used to fight forest fires in Indonesia. The spectacle of Russian aircraft lifting Russian helicopters reminded me of something that happened years ago when I worked at Edmonton International airport. One cold February afternoon in the late eighties, I was leaving for home. I couldn't believe my eyes. Parked by a hangar were two Russian helicopters. One was a Mil 8 (Hip) transport the other a Mil 24 (Hind) attack helicopter. These choppers were painted in bright blue and white colors instead of their usual drab camouflage. A day later an Antonov 124 (Condor) arrived. This huge aircraft was marshaled into a confined ramp area. The turn radius was so tight that the right main landing gear was damaged. There it sat for 10 days while the crew figured out a fix. Then the Hip and the Hind were loaded into the cavernous cargo hold of the Antonov. Then in the middle of a snow storm off they went into a black Alberta sky! Nothing was ever explained.

  • A Journey in Stories Early and First Level (Nursery–P2)
    National Museum of Flight Guidance for teachers and adult helpers A Journey in Stories Early and first level (Nursery–P2) Prior to your visit we recommend that all pupils and accompanying adults are briefed that the hangars and other buildings are widely spread apart. There is no shelter as you move between the buildings and therefore appropriate footwear, warm and waterproof clothing is essential. Upon arrival pupils should be briefed to understand the following hazards they may encounter: • The roads around the site are often busy and can be dangerous. Pavements and grass verges should be used where appropriate. When moving along the roads, pupils should walk in single file or pairs down the side of the road. • Running indoors is discouraged as the buildings contain various tripping hazards, slippery surfaces and sharp items at eye level. • We ask that visitors do not touch the aeroplanes or display objects unless signage states otherwise. This is to protect both the collection and the safety of visitors. Coach parking A designated parking area is available for coaches bringing groups to the museum. Behaviour We ask that groups are mindful that there will be other visitors enjoying the site whilst they are here. Please moderate noise levels and behaviour accordingly. Eating We are generally able to provide packed lunch facilities for groups on request and therefore ask that unless otherwise discussed that the eating of lunches and snacks is restricted to the designated areas of the museum. We also have outdoor picnic tables beside the shop, the assault course and Education Centre. Accessibility of the site At the National Museum of Flight we aim to make as much of the site as accessible as possible to visitors with additional support needs and disabilities.
