I've seen the Skua Garry and I'm pretty sure it was at Yeovelton.

This Savoia Marchetti is at Volandia next to Malpensa airport and is one of the more memorable exhibits.

There's also an unrestored Gladiator wreck at Hendon and a Short Seaplane at Yeovilton which just beats Hendon as the worst place to try and take a photo.

Looking at the photo, there is a heck of a LOT of the last extant Do-17. Where else would you have had the RAF Museum spend its its £600 K ?
Well Paul i must admit that if they can get a diorama similar to the savoia marchetti photo then i have spoken out before getting my Brain in gear! :lol: i should know better with my line at the bottom of my post!!!
