Presumably the departure of the LAMMA show to the East of England Showground at Peterborough from January 2014 will provide the Museum with less disruption.

Check out the link in post #2 – people within AiX-ARG have done more than most to get listed status for a variety of airfield buildings.

Has the journo been reading about the abandoned proposals for a nuclear-tipped Bloodhound Mk 3? As BigVern says, the only radiation an North Coates came from the various radars.

Plough: I know that Cotes is a traditional name used in those parts. However, the RAF knew the place as North Coates Fitties and then RAF North Coates, and never used the traditional local spelling. It seems to me, therefore, that we should continue to use the spelling which was traditional to the RAF, if not to the locals.

All crop spraying movements at North Coates would have taken place whilst North Coates was in RAF hands because, by the time place closed in approx 1991/2, pretty much all aerial crop spraying in the UK had packed up. I think Pat Miller packed up in the mid-1980s.

The major landowner in the area subsequently took over the airfield when it was sold and returned most of it to agricultural use. Unfortunately, he died a couple of years ago, but I’m sure that there will still be people in the area who will remember if any ag-planes actually used the airfield.

By the way, the place was always known by the RAF as North Coates, as depicted on the Station Badge, not North Cotes. That spelling was something which sprang up locally after the RAF had departed.

The oracle is on the CAA website here:

Search on M5.

You will be suprised at the number of organisations with M5 approval but of course not all of them are engaged in restoring Spitfires.

I have seen aircraft log book entries for Austers serviced by Boston Air Transport which make reference to maintenance schedule BAT/Auster/2. These date from the late 1940s/early 1950s. The Licenced Engineer’s number in those days was 7190, which would pre-date the number on the scammed document.

It looks to me that the page may have been taken from a log book certificate for an Auster J1 issued by Boston Air Transport, or its later successors Boardsides Aircraft Maintenance or Lincs Aerial Spraying which continued to use the same schedules, which has been ‘doctored’.
