Old Sarum Boscombe Down Avn Collection - ZA319

Post by DavidApps » Fri Oct 02, 2020 7:13 am

Hi there

I visited the excellent Boscombe Down Aviation Collection at Old Sarum yesterday (1st Oct 20), ostensibly to catch up with a required Jaguar (XX734).

I was the only visitor at the time, so the volunteers there were keen to chat about their exhibits. The big news for them is the impending arrival of Tornado GR1 ZA319. This was the first production aircraft for the RAF (BT001) and has been a gate guard at DSDA Bicester (Lower Arncott) since 2002. Here's an (iPhone) snap I took of it last year:

The museum folk believe ZA319 might be arriving in the next day or two. They have made space in one of their two hangars for this new exhibit.

cheers
