Thanks for the log! Two remarks:
*the Meteor is really WD646, a TT.20 dressed up as an NF.11
*the Hurricane with the memorial is actually LF751 with parts of Z3687 and PG593

Thanks Patrick
Not on the museum but by the fire section/school.
Clearly visible are Phantom XV411 (i think)
XV229 Nimrod both can be photographed whit a bigger 400/500 mm lens (if the weather permits) wich it not didt on my visit !!.
And a Jaguar could also be seen XX116 ?
and a Harrier aswell ??.
