No.s 4, 5 and 6 work well for me but what's with the blue painted floor a/c profile on the last couple of shots? Must be a recent thing as I can't recall seeing it a month or so ago?

Hopefully they don't intend to move the aircraft around anytime soon otherwise it will look most odd?! :smile:

I've just looked back at the photos that I took in July 2015 and at that time the only aircraft with the blue outlines on the floor were the EAP and Jaguar. I also notice another new addition. In place of the floor level bars which used to surround the aircraft in the test hangar, there are now white posts with white rope. It seems as though they have only done this in this one hanagar...so far.

Believe it's all part of the Musuem's ongoing developments moving towards 2018. I personally think it looks much nicer!

Be rubbish if they move aircraft between hangars though, a Varsity is not going to fit in a Jaguar's hole. :shock:
