Visited the RAF Museum, Colindale (Hendon) London on Sunday. What a fantastic place - shame that the collection is a bit all over the place at the moment. The Fw 190 S-8 (dual cockpit trainer) is currently dismantled awaiting a move, but apparently both the Dinah and the Ki-100 from Cosford are coming down to north London. The RAF Museum's 'newest' exhibit though is Lysander R9125. Recently restored, the Lysander is now on public display at Hendon in the corner of Hangar 5 opposite the He 162 and Vulcan. No idea why. The finished scheme is accurate down to the "inverted" paint detail on the engine cowl gills - which replicates how it actually looked in a WW2 photograph. Note how for the second photo I went over the rope to try and get a view of the cockpit..only partially successful...
