Summary
| Description |
The RAF Museum has chosen to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the service by dismantling and closing the museum dedicated to its finest hour, the Battle of Britain Museum. Every cloud has a silver lining, however, and during May 2016 the aircraft were in a part dismantled state, allowing for some interesting photos. This is the sole surviving complete Defiant . It was saved by the AHB (Air Historical Branch) in 1944 and stored until 1958 went it began making static appearances. Repainted in to a night-fighter scheme in 1967. Went on display at Hendon when the museum opened in 1972 and moved to the Battle of Britain Hall in 1978 and was there until removed for restoration in 2009. The restoration was carried out to an extremely high standard by MAPS (Medway Aircraft Preservation Society) and the aircraft returned to Hendon in early 2013, now in an accurate and genuine 307 (Polish)sqn colour scheme. This aircraft served with 307sqn as both a day fighter and a night fighter and remained on display in the Battle of Britain Hall until 2016. RAF Museum, Hendon, London, UK. 28th May 2016 |
