Morayvia Moray's Science and Technology Experience Project Morayvia formed in May 2011 to take forward work started by the Nimrod Heritage Group.
(354)

We purchased the last Nimrod in Moray XV244 now named 'Duke of Edinburgh' following approval from Buckingham Palace. We have fielded a mobile aircraft exhibit capability since June 2012 including the largest mobile aircraft section - 40ft of Nimrod XV240. In June 2014 we took a lease on a former primary school site at Kinloss to turn it into a science and technology centre, whilst also progressing a Community Asset Transfer application for the site with Moray Council. We have acquired other exhibits such as a Green Goddess and a Commer Fire Engine, A redundant Super Puma simulator cockpit donated by Bristow, as well as a Jet Provost and Vampire cockpit. We are pursuing procurement of a Sea King helicopter as this too is a key piece of Moray's aviation history. However, we are also progressing science and technology exhibits, and have secured funding from the Gordon and Ena Baxter Foundation for a mobile planetarium. Morayvia has been run by volunteers and we know we face a mountain trying to take this project forward but it has to be done, whatever the outcome. Your support can help to move the project forward and give it a greater chance of success.

✈️ WE ARE DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE — COMING SOON TO MORAYVIA! ✈️

We are delighted to announce another exciting addition to the Morayvia Collection — a Folland Gnat T.1, restored in the iconic colours of the Royal Air Force Red Arrows. 🔴⚪🔵

The Gnat has undergone a fantastic transformation, from the condition in which she arrived, through restoration and finally into that unmistakable bright red finish.

Many will instantly recognise the Gnat as the aircraft that became synonymous with the early years of the Red Arrows, serving as their display aircraft from 1965 until 1979 before being replaced by the Hawk.

There are still a few finishing touches and decals to be completed before she makes the journey north, but we couldn’t wait any longer to share the news.

We had hoped to welcome the Red Arrows themselves north recently, but unfortunately their planned visit didn’t happen. So perhaps it’s fitting that we’ll soon have a little piece of Red Arrows history of our own at Kinloss!
