Lionel and I visited this museum at Flixton, but it was closed. There was a man on site, and he kindly allowed us to take photos and enter the hangars. The gate guardian is a Hawker Hunter, and pic 2 is the tail of a Hunter that crashed in August 1959, while the Bristol Hercules engine is from a Stirling bomber that crashed in November 1943. The hangar lights were not on for this chiaroscuro portrait of a Mark 1 Lightning.
