The museum site at Sintra does not require making an appointment. For the one at Alverca (what remains there) you do need to contact the museum and make an appointment.
At both location some of the a/c are outside and can be seen from the outside.

Nope, some a/c remain in Alverca. Some are outside at Alverca as well.Ramses2 wrote:I understand all assets from the Museo do Ar are moved to Sintra?

Nice set of pics Rob,
Did you make them at Sintra?
How many mm did you need for that Epsilon shot?

Hi Rene,
A simple 75-300 Canon belonging to Canon EOS.
I had bad luck as I was inside the museum when the Epsilons came in and taxied past the platform.My girlfriend was sitting there reading a book and only noticed when the last one taxied by.She didnt bother to warn me as the book was obviously more interessting Ah wel at least she bothered to come along.
