Aircraft at Monkton Farleigh Mid 80's photos

[gingrove]

Not much history I'm afraid just some old photos that I took on a visit to M.f. when it was open as a museum in the 80s. As far as I can remember the aircraft belonged to the Gloucester aircraft collection but I may be wrong! sorry about the quality of the pics but I'm not too good with scanners and never know what settings to use!

If any body is interested in aircraft numbers the Javlin seems to have had a few diferent ones painted over!

Thanks for looking
Still to come from the same box of old photos some old pics of the inside of a German bunker on Jersey

The Javelin is FAW.9 - XH797 which left here 28/4/1990 - now resides at the Yorkshire Air Museum Elvington
