Boxted Airfield Museum; Colchester, Essex, England — Mike Lemon

Mike Lemon and the folks at Boxted Airfield Museum are working on a Canadian built, 1944 ANT-18.  The trainer was donated to the Museum by an ATC Squadron in 2021.  Members have been working to restore the fuselage to its present state.  They are also restoring the turbine and getting the primary motion base bellows operational.  Mike comes from an aircraft maintenance background; he often describes the trainer, its history and operation to museum visitors.  He is looking forward to being able to demonstrate the control stick and aircraft motion during his tours.  Check the museum out at www.boxted-airfield.com.
