The tour is run by Darren Williams who is a very knowledgeable bloke who gives you a booklet on the history of Hawarden and info re some of the residents. He gives a tour of the hangars he is authorised to do. Also tells you the details of the other hangars. One hangar held a Kingair in silver primer not sure if a shadow or not. He is happy for anyone to contact him re tours of the hangars – also as Bob has previously stated the tours are free- however a donation to the nominated charities would be appreciated.

No photographs allowed but it is a small price to make- tours only take place on a Tuesday and Wednesday and Darren can be contacted on the Hawarden Website.


Made 13 from the tour plus two into LPL 15 so far for the day

*= Copped

Happy Days

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the log! A place not visited too often!
A few questions:
G-BYED BAC Jet Provost
Where was this, and what condition was it in? According to my notes this should be remains only. The nose is privately owned near Cranwell.
G-OTAN/54-2445 PA18 Super Cub
A very nice find! This is former Dutch air force, and used to be based at Andrewsfield. It had however left there with unknown destination. Any idea wether this is based here now?
Cheers,

Patrick Dirksen
