| Description |
The RAF Museum has chosen to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the service by dismantling and closing the museum dedicated to its finest hour, the Battle of Britain Museum. Ever cloud has a silver lining, however, and during May 2016 the aircraft were in a part dismantled state, allowing for some interesting photos. Based in Belgium as part of the CAI (Corpo Aereo Italiano) during the Battle of Britain. Forced landed on the beach at Orfordness, Suffolk on 11th November 1940 when an oil pipe broke during a raid on Harwich. Taken to Martlesham Heath for repair and then flown to Farnborough. In April 1941 it joined the Air Fighting Development Unit at Duxford and remained in use there until October 1942. It was then allocated for preservation by the Air Historical Branch and by mid 1943 it was dismantled and stored. In 1964 it had reached Biggin Hill, where it was then ‘restored’. Further restoration was carried out at St Athan in 1974 and in 1978 it went on permanent display in the Battle of Britain Hall where it remained until 2016. RAF Museum, Hendon, London, UK. 28th May 2016 |
