A missed chance for Cockpitfest?

Steve,

Below is the response from the exhibitor; you also have a PM! 🙂

“I will be showing original team photos along with flying helmets with oxygen masks, which have been painted to show the teams over the years. I will be also showing different types of flying suits worn by aircrew and the Macaws from Manby.

There will be a team members display board that shows all the team members from 1968 to 1973.

90 percent of the items in the collection are original but some patches and other items have been replicated to show people what the Macaws were about.

There will also be on show a selection of station items from both the flying college and the college of air warfare, and small parts from my Jet Provost XS177 that flew with the Macaws in 1972.

I hope this is of some help and people should not be disappointed with the display.”

Steve a request for more details has been sent to the exhibitor and we are still waiting for a reply!

We’ll be watching you on your parts search!! 😀

Steve,

I must apologise for missing that the NAM 2012 Cockpit-Fest listing has details of a display about “RAF College Of Air Warfare, Macaws Display Team” – information overload I’m afraid, sorry!! 😮

I will endeavour to find out what is being planned for this particular display – I also anticipate that a further event update will be added to the NAM website later today!

Thanks T.O. I’d appreciate it.

I will be visiting Cockpitfest for the first time this year & am primarily interested in Aerobatics ( especially Jet Provost teams ) & Javelins so it looks like the event will fit the bill perfectly !

I’m hoping to go home with loads of bits for my JP & Javelin instrument panels. ( from the Aeroboot, not the aircraft on display 😮 )

Tkanks
Steve

TwinOtter can you expand on this ?

Are a few of the ex-display pilots attending ?

I’m sure there’ll be lots of ‘gin’ at the Saturday evening do for this reunion later this month!! 😉

Ha ha, too much Linton Gin, methinks?:D – or not enough, perhaps!

Anon.

Not that I’m aware of.

I believe that Rocketeer was merely making a ‘play on words’ comment using the word “Collage” 😉

….. pleased to see:
