The Martin Marauder is entirely original in the planes of 1940, His tail turret is a true which was especially restored.

Here's a few more pictures from my visit there in April 2007.

You can go inside the C-47 and there's a very cool multimedia setup that has the engine sounds of start-up, taxi and takeoff and then flashing lights and explosions like you're in heavy flak. A very well done museum display.


A very rare D520



Spitfire (the sign said MkXVI)

Hi Guys,

EXCELLENT shots. Thanks for positing them. I especially like the Martin B-26 ones....it is nice to see one intact and so well taken care of. I wish more of this type were flyable and more importantly, around, even for museums. It seems that folks almost want to forget the Martin B-26 due to how few remain.

"Spitfire (the sign said MkXVI)"

...and the sign was correct. RR263 of the RAF but painted as "TB597".
