Aircraft museums merry go round

[Tony1963]

Flixton is doing a swap in the next ten days or so with Duxford.
The Duxford Jaguar (this one never served in the RAF) is going to Flixton to replace their Sea Harrier. AirSpace at Duxford is approaching the end of its rearranging, and I think we’ll see a few more swaps over the coming months.
Duxford will be a very different museum experience in ten years time. Flixton had to take the decision to start charging visitors a few weeks ago. Yep, many people chose to not pay anything voluntarily!
There’s a Jag at Coltishall now.
Hopefully a full airframe will turn up at West Raynham’s veterans centre sometime.

Any others?

Yep, the Duxford Canberra is being reclaimed by the RAFM after its 52 years at Duxford, as it turns out to be the sole remaining unmodified B.2 version.

And it was wasted, just dangling from the roof, in my opinion. A beautiful, clean, sleek body.

Supermarine Swift FR.5 WK277 leaves Newark for South Wales.

Before that a Vickers Varsity from Newquay.

SWAM is becoming quite a thing!
