Some of the aircraft on show at the superb Dumfries & Galloway Aviation Museum. The museum occupies the control tower and surrounding area of what was once RAF Dumfries, two miles north-east of the centre of Dumfries.

Panavia Tornado F.3 The Tornado GR.1 was originally produced by the European multi-national Panavia concern as a 'strike' aircraft. However, the Royal Air Force also needed an air defence fighter, capable of defending U.K. airspace. Redesign, including a lengthened fuselage, new radar, air-to-air missiles, and engines re-worked for higher altitude operations, gave rise to the Tornado F.2. Sadly, the new radar wasn't ready in time for this aircraft, which meant that early examples flew with a concrete block in the nose to restore balance! The final version, the F.3 (as shown here at the North East Land, Sea and Air Museum - NELSAM - in Sunderland) proved itself a capable long-range interceptor. #NELSAM #NorthEastLandAirandSeaMuseum #museum #aircraft #Panavia #multinational #NATO #RAF #RoyalAirForce #fighter #interceptor #missile #engines #UK #airspace #radar #Tornado #TornadoF2 #concrete #European #aviation #aviationphotography #photography #avgeeks #avgeek #aviationmuseum #exhibit

Welcome to the OLDEST flying #aircraft in the World! This 1911 Blériot XI was manufactured approximately 3 months prior to that held at Old Rheinbeck, New York, USA. This aircraft is part of the Shuttleworth Collection based on the grass airfield at Old Warden, #Bedfordshire, #UK. It is fitted with a three-cylinder 'fan configuration' air-cooled Anzani engine. Due to the significance of this #Blériot XI , its flights are strictly limited to straight 'hops' down the length of the grass #runway at Old Warden, during certain public events. #history #aviation #photography #OldWarden #aviationmuseum #oldestaircraft #ShuttleworthCollection #grassairfeld #museum #BlériotXI #Anzani #aircooled #avgeek #technology #flight #aviationphotography #Mastodonaviation #Mastodonphotography

@t4ms Some of my family come from there (I don’t think there’s any of that branch left now, the last cousin probably died last year.)
Temora also has an awesome Aviation museum, the volunteers which help run it are amazing. They have flying Spitfires, which, regardless of how you feel about warplanes, are incredible engineering.
