Hi All,
I need a little help if possiable.
I wrote The Fleet Air Arms Museum trying to get a crash record and got an e-mail back saying that it would be a year before anyone could get to my request.
I was wondering if there is anyone who goes to FAAM, if so would you mind doing me a favor.
If so please contact me at [email]b25j@maine.rr.com[/email]
Thanks for any help
Cheers CrazyMainer

Unfortunately I’m afraid the FAA museum at Yeovilton is understaffed and lacking budget and resources at the moment. JDK can fill you in on specifics, but we had a somewhat discouraging conversation with one of the Currators on this very subject. I don’t remember the exact number of backlog requests for information he mentioned, but it was quite a lot.
Maybe, in the future, funds will be available to staff the research and archive library to a level that can speed the process.
