WIndy day today and a bit dull... But PV202 still went up with a passenger. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz6_83NLZtzUcSd-jzhD6qXVdIGquvhzXGPHbheAxnXxT70xEK9JTn166oTf_GnpnFHqyIgdlhJgm1Q_G_Utz9ehAUKcv-A6Nj2eH4eO4szSAmn-hpMG1pDjz7RBi1kNjWB7FwKG_HCzhk9LyMl8QQdyXATpGMh34MsQs...

Tempest II had been pulled out as I started my lunch - good timing as I'd only seen it in the corner of the hangar up to now. Unfortunately I had to head back northside before any engine run... EE602 watched on, PV202 & N3200 had arrived back a few minutes earlier... https://blogger.googleuserco...

Resuming my lunchbreak saunters and Hangar 3 had released some of it's contents... Then just as the museum was closing Marinell returned from a trip to the coast. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxjFM4pWzEuouErgFao3Nb5OgZJNqxQe5Rz9INxYPuD9CZy-iPhsTfrTp3lWEsp4Fwu6S4c4kkO3mt...

There are pictures online of PL965 in the museum at Overloon which show that it had the blisters fitted then, so that would make sense.

I visited Overloon around 1980, so would have seen it there. 43 years later I manage to get a photo!!

Just for the record, Bob's photo shows MS.505 G-BIRW, once resident at Duxford with Graham Warner. It arrived today by road after 41 years on static display at the Royal Scottish Museum, East Fortune.
