Here's a video taken yesterday, Sunday 21st June 2020, at the Kent Battle of Britain Museum Trust at Hawkinge. Museum Volunteer, Anthony Austen, has spent much of his time at the Museum over the last few weeks reattaching and getting various parts working again on our Heinkel He 111H-16. One of the parts he was working on yesterday was the final fitting of the ailerons.

Here's the first of two videos recorded today, Monday 15th June 2020, at the Kent Battle of Britain Museum Trust at Hawkinge and relating to our Heinkel He 111H-16. As it was fairly hot this morning and we have removed all the paint off of the perspex canopy glass, Dave was concerned about the build up of heat in the Heinkel. As Dave has a few broken bones he cannot climb in and out of the Heinkel at present but fellow Volunteer, Neil Quinn, happily volunteered to open up the pilots window, hatc

An incredibly rare sight over The Kent Battle of Britain Museum Trust at Hawkinge this morning, Wednesday 12 July 2023! A Messerschmitt Me 262, Spitfire Mk V and a photo ship on their way to the RIAT Airshow. Probably the first time a Me 262 has been seen in the skies over England since the 1940s when a few captured examples were flown.
