Glad to see you back posting and I hope that you haven’t been affected by the flooding!
Did you look in here for ideas for my present? ๐

A bit challenging as the event is held at Newark Air Museum !
That said over XM594 and the Victor cockpit! ๐
Earlier today I checked all ‘known’ possible storage / sale locations and I’m afraid that I drew a blank – sorry!
Both the Curator and Shop Manager have been placed on alert in case any copies appear amongst the regular sets of donated items that keep arriving at the museum.
For anyone who likes Valiants thereโs a nice image on the homepage of the updated Tribute to the V-Force website http://www.vforcereunion.co.uk/
Nothing located during a quick search today – but this didn’t touch on the ‘deeper-store’, I’ll try to get that covered tomorrow!!
I called in briefly at the museum today and I understand that theyโve already had a few shoppers who have been tempted by some of the items in the โAdvent Present Ideasโ album thatโs located here in the online Gallery!
Sorry 12jaguar – I got you mixed up with your alter ego Jaguar12 – it’s been a long day! ๐ฎ
Dean, if you PM me an email address I’ll send you a PDF file of the Aviation In Nottinghamshire booklet, which has a page on RAF Wigsley – including some photographs of the watch office (then and now); I can also let you have a jpg of it ‘now’. I may not get round to sending it through until tomorrow night as I’m heading off into Lincolnshire in the morning to photograph a few more memorials – now where did I put my passport? ๐
Fond memories of huddling in a phone box in Stanton when one of my sons went on a school trip there and I went along as a ‘responsible adult!’
There’s also a memorial to a Wellington OTU crew at Creswell Crags – http://www.military-airshows.co.uk/press06/creswellcragsmemorialprmay2011.htm
Regarding the OP’s photograph request, there are no RAF Wigsley Stirling images on file in the NAM Archive, which was fully checked when the Nottinghamshire Memorials booklet was produced a couple of years ago.
Re- Stirlings Jaguar12 might be able to assist!
Thanks for that heads-up – I wonder whether the Palmer Tyre Company referenced in the article is connected to the Palmer Cord Tyre Company from World War I, as mentioned in this news item from NAM http://www.newarkairmuseum.org/newsItem.php?id=717 ?
Another line of enquiry!
No problem Denis, pleased to assist. ๐
Just back from photographing the new Balloon Anniversary plaque in Nottingham – that won’t be relevant for the ukniwm!!
Denis,
Depending on the efficiency of your local ‘volunteers’ you may find that you’ve already been surveyed; you can check through this site http://www.ukniwm.org.uk/ ๐
I suspect that it’s perhaps more likely some ‘brand awareness’ for “Cyber Monday!” ๐

I was being slightly cynical with #10!
Itโs well over 10 years ago since I was last in a tyre factory (IIRC – Pirelli, Burton on Trent to interview a mixing room manager about their new Silane weighing / handling systems) and my specific knowledge on the sector isnโt quite what it once was! ๐
