BBC TV – Heads Up

Sorry jr I was a bit slow there; because of all the grief that they cause NAM I try to blot that set-up out of my mind – obviously I was successful on this occasion!

🙂 I actually meant to refer to the Antiques Fair…doesn’t it have the word ‘Antiques’ painted down it?

I heard the presenter say he’d spent many a happy hour at NAM, haven’t we all! :highly_amused:

I wasn’t being too serious jr – I just needed to get the ‘plug’ in – the motor auction might not be too bad an idea though!!

Apparently the presenter ‘James’ went to school with the museum shop manager’s son in Bingham!!!

Yes, sorry, back on topic……good luck with that! Next door maybe unless you repaint it?

From the look of your photograph I should have stuck with my initial instinct and come back outside after I’d done my ‘work-bit’ photographing the two veterans in the post-service function in the Visitor Centre.

In the event I tried to photograph the flypast from a vantage point in the Visitor Centre, but with minimal success! Such is life!!

If the Cockpit-Fest flypasts are anything like the one last Saturday for the Lightning event then everyone will be in for a real treat! Also it seems as though the Cockpit-Fest & Aeroboot layout will be heading much closer to Hangar 2 this year – so there’ll be no nodding off between visitors!!!!

Anyway to try and get back on topic and to resume something like normal service – anyone want to buy a drop tank? :highly_amused: Four (4?) known owners, as seen on TV!!!

I got myself all positioned and ready, turned my camera on and the battery went flat! Took this on my phone, it’s a bit grainy but you get the idea. Hoping I get a better one at Cockpit Fest.

Oh dear, hope you get it all sorted, thinking of you all x

Yes it was good to see you on Friday, did you get a better view of the Lancaster flypast that I did? To be honest I felt slightly disappointed on Friday afternoon but they more than compensated for it at Milton on Sunday!! :eagerness:

Yes, the news from Newark wasn’t good – although we believe that David W may have just seen the Lancaster before he passed away.

We are currently facing a major challenge to get everything sorted out to cover the work he did at the museum – if anyone tries to tell you that ‘succession planning’ isn’t important please don’t listen to them – oh if we’d been able to persuade him to do more of that before he went!!!

Very welcome, lovely to see you at the Cathedral on Friday, thank you for not ejecting me! I felt very honoured and humbled to be in the close presence of some of the other visitors.

Was very sorry to hear the sad news from NAM though of the other events of Friday, condolences to his family and all who knew him, he will be most sadly missed.

Thanks for posting the link jr – I’m still trying to catch up from my work in Lincoln last week and the various events at NAM over the last few days!
