Only loss over the North East on 15/16th Feb 1941 was the He.111 which you refer to (w/nr. 3085 of 6/KG4) which came down at South Shields. Anti-Aircraft fire struck the aircraft and it was losing height when its port wing collided with the cable of a barrage balloon. It crashed at the Eastern end of Beach Road at Bent’s Park.

NEAM Archive & Research online

Happy New Year !!!!

After many attempts (by both past & present museum members) to document the NEAM archive, we’re finally in a position to launch our own Archive & Research website – NEAR. It can be found @ http://NEAviationResearch.org.uk.

There’s still a massive task ahead to sort, research and upload the information to ‘complete the picture’ but thought the New Year would be a good time as any to launch while these developments continue.

Obviously if anyone has additional or new information relating to those subjects covered, the museum would be very interested in hearing from you.

All the best
Dave / John & all @ NEAM

The majority of the very early A-W records were lost during the Coventry blitz which is why its hard to get any firm confirmation of the F.K. allocations built at Dukes Moor, Gosforth & Town Moor, Newcastle. As others have said, the MAM is probably a good staring point for more recent types. I assume you’ve got the Putnam “bible” Armstrong-Whitworth Aircraft since 1913 by Oliver Tapper.

Pardon my ignorance, but if the EOD (a goverment agency) was putting the Hunter up for Disposal why didn’t it go through the official channels i.e. eDisposals etc?
I’m not complaining (rather pleased it was kept away from the scrapman, paintballers), but I know of three parties/organizations that would be interested in the Phantom if it became available. Can someone involved in the Hunter’s rescue pm me with any contact details?!?

Thanks
Dave

In my ‘opinion’ it was the best IAT since the Cold War shows, but I’m not biased when it comes to old or new aicraft (which is why I generally to go both F/L & IAT). The photographers can’t claim about the barriers being too close, the airframes on show were varied & the rain kept its distance (maybe a different matter today).

Well done IAT!

Brian,

All T-33’s up there are almost certainly ex Belgium. Air North had a base tour at Spadeadam in the 80’s and confirmed the serials (I have the report somewhere). I’m wondering if the 9111 could be related to the FAB serial of FT-11? which was reported as being on the dummy airfield.

The SU-22 can been viewed from Spadeadam Farm and thankfully is still fairly intact

Cheers
Dave
