Confronté à un gros souci de moisissement de la structure du fuselage (en bois), le Vampire avait de plus en plus mauvais aspect. Une équipe a donc lancé son démontage afin de stocker les ailes (en très bon état) et de traiter le fuselage en partenariat avec IFIP.
Après un gros travail de préparation (démontage des empennages, des poutres et des capotages moteurs), ces 15 derniers jours ont été marqués par le démontage des deux ailes.
La restauration du fuselage va pouvoir commencer.
Our goal is the preservation of the aviation heritage. All this work aims to place the collection in the shelter in a suitable and visitable premises: an Aeronautical Museum in Toulouse (now called Aeroscopia)
WEDNESDAYS AND THURSDAYS
from 2pm to 5.30pm
SATURDAYS
from 10am to 5.30pm
Gathered for years by our association, the collection includes many aircraft (aircraft, helicopters, gliders) but also a large amount of various aeronautical equipment (engines, dashboards, ejection seats, missiles, …). Here is a small overview of the collection, which will reveal its secrets during your visit.
Most of the association’s resources come from collection visits, but unfortunately it is not always enough to carry out our projects.
If you wish to help us, you can:
– Make a tax-free donation to our association via our endowment fund
– Become a volunteer and participate in the activities of the association
