Has anyone here been to Motat lately? I'm wondering how the aviation projects such as the Mosquito, Tui Sports replica, and others are progressing in the restoration hangar.
Also, has work begun yet to restore the Hudson? I was told in November 2005 by engineers there it was next on the list to be restored and will have its wings put on finally.
Has the new hangar been begun yet?

Whats happening with the sunderland
I remember going there with my flatmate who's father was Sqn Ldr Angelo, curator of the wigram musuem, back in the late 80's, yes
married to Therese Angelo.
The guy showing us around had keys and let us into a lot of areas that normal people were not permoitted to go.
the poor old sunderland seemed to be getting worse and worse languishing out there in the open.

They are restoring it slowly, and it will be finished by the time the new building is being constructed apparently.
I have heard it's fairly pristine inside, is that right? I hope once indoors they'll open it up and allow walkthroughs like the Hendon one.

Yep, the interior is very original, a good clean up/wipe down and she'd be right.
