Nipped in to the I.W.M. at Duxford today and took a few shots.

Nice to see the Puccara has been moved in to the restoration area.

The Victor is still waiting for work to start.

The Lightning still looks great.

This Seaking is one of the new arrivals.

The Buccaneer looks nice and clean.

Classic Sea Vixen view.

Lots of work going on in the FLYING AIRCRAFT Hangar.
