I realised that I had not been to east Fortune in a very long time, so I rectified that last weekend.
There's a quirk at the museum where you need a permit to use a tripod (tripod=professional,) so I used the median Stack, where I mounted the camera on a monopod, set a high ISO on the camera and gave my new 14mm lens a good run for my money.
Here's a selection of pictures.

The really sad thing was very little had changed since my last visit since my last visit in 2016 and that was a Red Arrows Hawk. They don't do progress all that well.
National Museum of Flight - East Fortune
Re: National Museum of Flight - East Fortune
Nice to see, yes, not much has changed, mind you, before the arrival of the Concorde, things hadn't changed much at all in years. It would be nice to see some of the aircraft in store rotated, like the Fieseler Storch (MS.505) and the Buccaneer. Also, has any progress been made on the Viscount? Much potential in this collection, but it seems that the museum has gotten its big injection of funds and assistance from Chambers Street and stopped...
