How big does a fish have to be to be worth your life?
Just a thought – maybe they were fishing for something to eat!
Hopefully they stayed safe – Happy New Year!

Some progress has been made in recent weeks in getting the Ashton fuselage more mobile and there’s now a news item in here plus a couple of photos in the restoration album in the Gallery!
With lots of temporary museum closures currently being in vogue, due to weather issues and refurbishment programmes I thought that it might be worthwhile posting a gentle reminder that NAM is still open – plus they aren’t expecting any January traffic hic-ups now that the LAMMA show has moved south!!
It also seems as though NAM has added the date of the autumn Aeroboot / Aerojumble sale – Saturday 11th October 2014; this is the day before a Northern Military Arms event over on the Showground!
That’s more good news – I think that you might find yourself in the new “Tribute to the V-Force – Looking Back” album!
To whet a few appetites for the event in May an album of photographs from the past three V-Force events has been added to the NAM website, it’s entitled “Tribute to the V-Force – Looking Back”
I believe that it may feature a few forumites, but you may need to look close! 😉
I believe that the author sometimes posts around these parts – he might post the photograph sometime!
A quick reminder, especially to any motorcyclists heading to the Carole Nash Classic Winter Bike Show that’s taking place on the Newark Showground on 4th & 5th January, that NAM’s open both days as well! 🙂
I have not come across a centralised resource for POW photographs.
However I have come across individual aircrew that managed to secure their POW I.D. cards etc. – including one 619 Squadron wireless operator, who obtained his ‘blue card’ c/w, photographs, fingerprints and the handwritten message – “I need a shower, but who told them?”
The items are now in the Archive at Newark Air Museum and they include the original 35mm, black and white Agfa negatives of the POW photographs!
Possibly ! But I guess that wouldn’t help the guys who want to put parts back into restorations!
Unfortunately there’s no ‘tongue in cheek’ icon!! 😉
I know nothing!! :love-struck:
I bet they wouldn’t want a stall to sell stuff at the Spring Aeroboot – but I wonder if we could persuade them to come along as buyers? 😉
Things just keep getting better for Cockpit-Fest 2014 – thanks everyone!
The only downside is that Ritch now owes me part of the cost for a new keyboard (it was a bit tatty anyway), due to the spilt coffee that resulted from reading the last part of post #12 – perhaps not glamorous, but beautifully marked!! 😀
It sounds as though Winthorpe is going to be the place to be during the weekend of 14th & 15th June 2014 – all this promise and no forms sent out yet by WOS!
Fingers crossed that we get some good weather and a good set of flypasts!! 🙂
It’s in my nature to worry, especially when it involves such a valued supporter of the event like your good self – here’s to a more positive experience on 14th & 15th June 2014! 🙂
