Perhaps I am perverse, but amongst the beautifully restored exhibits in the marvellous Technical Museum, this one was my favourite. Belonging to the St G.5 Squadron on the Northern front this aircraft crashed in Norway on 2nd July, 1942. The wreck was found in 1994 and acquired by the museum in 1997. It's preservation in this condition seems more poignant than if it was restored. Magnificent ! This photo is copyright © Mick Bajcar, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
