Firstly, thanks for checking this out rather than just doing it – in principle I see no problem providing it is kept low-key at the cockpit, and people aren’t going round the site ‘shaking the tins’; likewise on other cockpits.
That said I will need to run it past the trustees to get their formal approval before a firm answer is given. There are some potential issues with charities working with other charities, but hopefully they will take a sensible view on the matter.
Leave it with me and keep up the good work!
A project at Scampton is already being considered – tender information from last autumn!
Perhaps the memorial donor wasn’t interested in any other schemes.
It’s a brilliant achievement and I bet they’re over the moon!
I wish I could stimulate such a response for Project Panini! 😉
This appeal has just received a ‘vey generous boost’ http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-25823701 :applause:
Apologies for missing these two responses – once again thanks for the feedback and yes it shows what the forum should be about.
The Ashton project is a huge undertaking, but once ‘mobile’ it should make it simpler to get it to an area of hard-standing so that any structural work / access provision can be carried out more easily and safely.
Some mailing work is currently underway to the various Squadron Associations that have V-Force connections via the Valiant, Victor and Vulcan.
Some of the contact data may be old, so please shout up if you’re connected with a Squadron that hasn’t been contacted.
I’ve often found this site useful http://www.targetlock.org.uk/seaharrier/index.html with good information if you drill down into the site.
Don’t forget that ZA176 resides here in Notts!
He is indeed – I was there in relation to an aviation project that I’m working on in West Lindsey; despite the winter sun it was certainly very bracing on the edge of the Trent Valley.
I would urge all forumites to check out your group’s website at http://www.rafingham.co.uk
Geoff Burton. 🙂
I had a meeting with one of your trustees the weekend before last. I was given a informative tour of the site and an overview of what is being planned – good luck with what will become another great addition to Lincolnshire’s aviation offering! :eagerness:
I even brought along a few ‘signatures’ from Newark!! 🙂
Another update has been added in here about the March Indoor Aeroboot / Aerojumble Sale – 32 of the 48 tables have now allocated, with several new sellers joining the ranks at Newark! :eagerness:
As previously posted some flyers are still available and if anyone would like some to give out / distribute, then please send me a PM or email me a postal address and I will send some out to you.
Semantics I know, but disposal could perhaps be considered different to sale?
My instinct would suggest speculation – especially for the T33, which I would have thought was on loan from the USAFM; like most ex-French Air Force T33s in the UK.
My understanding is that the Croydon situation is different to any hypothetical IWM situation; not least they are a not a national collection – details of their case can be found here http://www.museumsassociation.org/news/18092013-croydon-disciplinary-action
😮 ….. we don’t want anyone trying that at this sale!! 😀
