Seven Days in May
In the 7 days leading up to the IWM air display at the end of May TFC were “busy”.
Despite this they managed to grab a few clips of video. We were also lucky enough to catch the TFC Hellcat (thanks to Pete C from veao who were setting up the Flight Sim stuff in the hangar at the time (as you do )) and just prior to its first flight in a number of years.
A big thanks to Martin and his team for supplying a number of these clips from a variety of cameras! Enjoy:

New arrival at TFC
With summer fast approaching Friends of TFC have helped the engineers by replacing one of the oldest and most important pieces of equipment in the inventory. Never really on show to the public but an essential part of the engineers toolkit. You guessed it, a replacement Fridge. No more doubtful smelling milk, soggy butter or unidentified green stuff lurking at the back of the fridge. The colour scheme is based on an authentic white enamel as used across the UK.
