The Fighter Collection Hanger Duxford

This is the maintenance hangar for the The Fighter Collection. Most of the aircraft in this hanger are in flying condition or in the process of restoration. They are used during the summer season for flying shows so they have to be maintained to the highest standards. The public can visit the collection but are asked not to interfere with the work in progress, otherwise the engineers would never get their work done.

Handley Page Victor

The aircraft has just been moved into hanger five to start the refurbishment. Earlier this month I photographed the Victor out on the airfield waiting to be moved into the hanger.  See my post of the 1st November 

The Victor was one of the original cold war bombers subsequently it was converted into an airborne tanker. Duxford is now undertaking a complete overhaul of this aircraft as its condition has deteriorated and needs to be restored to its former glory.

I decided to have one last go at the autumn colours at Anglesey Abbey for this year.
