    RadarArchive, thanks for posting the additional photos – two very different perspectives; IIRC the house at the base of the mast was up for sale when I visited the first time, I wonder how the mast was described in the sales bumph?

    A further information request has been added to the NAM website seeking information about the 5 Group Aircrew Commando School being based on the airfield before moving to RAF Barkston Heath.

    Does anyone have any information that might help validate or disprove that suggestion?

    A fresh news item for the spring Aeroboot / Aerojumble at NAM has been added to the NAM News Page.

    This coincides with the first advert for the 2014 sales being published in the February 2014 edition of FlyPast (page 112) โ€“ I understand that further adverts will be appearing in due course in there and elsewhere! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Rich – did you get your comms issues sorted out?

    I still have some photocopies from the AP (including some circuits) waiting to post off – just need to confirm the best postal address!!

    Many thanks RadarArchive – until I’d been out to photograph the site in autumn 2012, I hadn’t appreciated how the remaining aerial mast dominated the landscape.

    I was over at Wickenby the other week and on a crisp winters day looking over to the Wolds there it was, acting as a silent reminder to our World War II defences!! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Thanks for posting that image RadarArchive – I wonder whether anyone from the ‘Riggers School’ has any similar photographs taken more recently?

    Charlie I was going to send you a PM, but you don’t seem to be registered – if it helps I could send you some photographs of what remains at Stenigot.

    A returning favourite, an aerial photo of NAMโ€™s Vulcan XM594 in the snow, features here in NAMโ€™s Christmas message โ€“ the link also contains details of the museumโ€™s Christmas Holiday opening times; enjoy! ๐Ÿ™‚

    If you go to Stenigot in the East Lindsey District of Lincolnshire one of the transmitter towers still dominates the Wolds skyline and was featured in the East Lindsey aviation guide.

    The booklet can be downloaded in PDF format by following this link!

    Thank you for posting that David – nice to see that the local paper was ahead of the nationals for the Wing Commander, which makes a change!

    Iโ€™d be interested to hear how you get on as itโ€™s several years since I had any dealings with the Nottinghamshire Chamber on a similar import situation.

    From a personal perspective the last import I dealt with was the Viggen, which was nearly 7 years ago now. That was relatively simple paperwork (End User Certificate) as it constituted a movement within the EU.

    More recently NAM has benefitted from the importation of a batch on light aircraft spares from North America; however most of the documentation was quite generously resolved by the donor of the items and a good forwarding agent.

    As a further update I have been advised that early Air Pictorials have been going through the scheme at NAM – when I’m visiting the next time I’ll have a rummage through to see what I can find! ๐Ÿ™‚

    I’d make a call here to start with for a bit of advice http://www.cambridgeshirechamber.co.uk/ regs change and a lot is to do with the country of original manufacture.
