My friends boss has a DH6 propeller hanging up on the office wall. My great grand father, Arthur Maxfield, also served in Iraq during WW1.

I’m looking for instruments suitable for a vintage glider, especially an early COSIM
Variometer (the one with the external tubes.)
Thank you,

The previous photograph was from http://www.roalddahl.com, and was entitled “1941 Roald Dahl rejoins his RAF squadron in Athens, Greece”

Rich, I was there and thoroughly enjoyed a friendly and relaxed event. The first time I’ve seen the Shackleton and was impressed by how it looked and sounded close up. Good luck with the return to airworthiness.

The only good thing to come out of Manchester is the M62 East bound.

That will be a huge asset to NAM, it looks a bit modern to me, but I do understand that modern building regulations mean modern buildings (Project Bus Terminal?)

Has the museum ever considered relocating an original RAF building to Winthorpe? It could be an interesting exhibit in its own right, would help preserve our heritage and could provide workshop / display space. I know it would not be cheap or straight forward (lead, asbestos, etc) just a thought.

I think that only the display Vulcan had camoflaged under surfaces. I remember reading somewhere that this was done to make it more visible to the audience. The usual ‘Could be wrong’ disclaimer applies…..
