Chaps and chapesses,
well in 6 months it will be CockpitFest at Newark Air Museum (over the Fathers Day weekend)…16th/17th June.
It would be great if we could get as many Forumites to attend, especially those with cockpits or interior panels/material.
So who is going and with what?!
I will get the ball rolling:-
The BDAC will be taking a Jet cockpit of some description
The ADC F2 Hunter and something different will attend….
so to coin a phrase….will it be at Fests?!!!

Fully intending to be there this year (unless at work). Have made significant progress on F.27-500 G-BNCY and Canberra B2/TT18 WK128. It’ll be one or the other….

I intend going this year (have always missed it due to work and other comitments thus far) and there is a slight chance i will be able to fetch my Auster fuselage frame, that is providing i get it looking like a viable restoration project and not like its just been dragged out of the scrap pile. there are a couple of tubes to replace and decorroding / painting to be done beforehand though.

I am led to believe that Owner and Buccaneer Society Member, John Hoole, is looking to venture to the Fest with XZ431.

Hello all,
Yes Heather and i will be there with Lightning F6 XS922 nose. We are considering bringing ‘Heathers Harrier T4’ nose too …maybe, maybe not!

Yup.. Just to stop LesB moaning about a lack of Cranberries again..!
Such a delight it’ll be to see it too. It’s the utmost best PR.9 cockpit owned by anybody called Ross I’ve ever seen!!
:rolleyes:
By: Camlobe - 12th January 2007 at 16:43
Who knows. Now that I’ve got the Shack cockpit back here (at last) maybe, just maybe…

Notwithstanding that I am spending much of January and February in Italy with work, I will be attending cockpitfest 2007 with a “growing” Hornet cockpit interior!
Looking forward to it…….

Yup..
I’m intending to be there with Canberra PR.9 XH175.
