Museum of Scottish Aviation - East Fortune rd

The National Museum of Flight is Scotland's national aviation museum, at East Fortune Airfield, just south of the village of East Fortune, Scotland. The museum is housed in the original wartime buildings of RAF East Fortune which is a well preserved World War II airfield. RAF East Fortune was used as a fighter station during the First World War and later used by a night fighter operational training unit during the Second World War. The motto of the station is "Fortune Favours the Bold".

    Like most naval aircraft, the Sea Hawk had folding wings to save space on an aircraft carrier. Six squadrons of Sea Hawks took part in operations after Egypt seized control of the Suez Canal. Between 1956 and 1957, Sea Hawks carried out ground attack missions against Egyptian installations. This Sea Hawk served with training squadrons of the Fleet Air Arm at Abbotsinch and Lossiemouth, two Scottish airbases.
