Contributions as to listed preserved examples of aircraft
Ir emoved your entry for the Hunter as there are numerable exmaples and the Midland examples do not seem notable enough to be mentioned in such detail, if at all. I see you have made several similar additions. Please can you be sure that these are notable aircraft - eg the only known survivor or the only one in a public british collection and so on.

Hello Graeme,

I did not intend to cause offence by my updates. As a visitor to many aviation forums I know that Wiki gets used a lot to get the gen on aircraft and thought it would be good to start listing examples in preservation. As im in the museum world as a volunteer and travel around museums a lot I thought I would start with this museum as I know it so will. Maybe it would even start other people to list and provide extra info.

I do query though the comment about the Hunters and the fact that they shouldn't be mentioned as they are not the sole example in the UK or noteworthy. That comment is somewhat neagted by entries on other aircraft types people have added. Look under the F101 Voodoo for example. Multiple examples which are not unique or noteworthy but are all in canada or the USA. It seems as though they can be listed though.

Maybe you could explain how that creeps uneder the net so to speak?

Regards a told of Martin ;-)

 * "Thunder and Lightnings" (referenced website) carries a comprehensive list of surviving aircraft and cockpits (for several classic British aircraft, not just Lightnings). I've been through an exercise of trying to identify their locations on Google Earth (http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/download.php?Number=299502), so I know that keeping these things up to date is a bind. If you weren't aware of it and don't want the effort, it may be easier just to point to the survivors listings there. NickS 10:22, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
