Wildcat AL246 FAA


Recommended Posts

Here's some pics of Wildcat AL246 at Yeovilton FAA Museum when she was being refurbished back in 2006.

Pretty interesting shots but my battery ran out on the bloody camera after the cockpit shots!

The starboard wingtip being refurbished - no record exists in the planes log for the repair patch beneath!

Also, note the light blue under the tip - That's not 'Sky' as we know it!

The wheel well compartment behind the engine - note the colours!

We were there on holiday and the chap showing us the aircraft, (a bearded FAA ex-Phantom pilot!) let us climb in and over every inch of the airframe!

Very accommodating!

Hope you enjoy the pics....
