Speaking of Modelzone, the branches have been picked clean pretty much and no word of a rescue:apologetic:
The NAM Shop received an irate phone call the other day from a former Modelzone customer complaining about that company’s trading issues, and asking why ‘we’ didn’t do something about it! When it was pointed that NAM had nothing to do with that company – the ‘gentleman’ uttered some abuse and put the phone down.
As someone said earlier models can be good fund raisers – but sadly it’s difficult when there’s so many ‘bargains’ around that are cheaper than the wholesale price!!
Nice to see another Javelin benefit from moving inside! 🙂
Just noticed that a model kit related update has been added to the NAM website in the usual place!
Hearing whispers that NAM’s HP Hastings is being moved to ‘2 year readiness!’ 😀

……………. then again at Newark on October 12th the first teas and coffees for the sellers is on my tab!! 😉
:confused: PAMHA Jack if I’ve confused the situation it’s just that I responded to the following comment in that thread from last weekend – “Hopefully we’ll be welcoming a new arrival next weekend; watch this space!”
Sunday – according to the link that I posted in the other thread http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-humber-23724010
No problem Anthony– if you have a list of missing items please let me know and I’ll pass them on to the team working on the AOP9; you never know what contacts they may have.
There are a couple of forumites who brought along some parts to the Newark Cockpit-Fest event this year who may also be worthwhile contacting, they’re located in the north-west of England.
Good luck with the project!
By no means a match; however this project in Nottinghamshire might be of interest to you http://www.newarkairmuseum.org/newsItem.php?id=698
It was noted in the “Victor XL231 And Nimrod XV250 Work Diary” thread yesterday afternoon! 😉
Good luck for tomorrow Tom – I hope that it all goes well! :eagerness:
Hopefully we’ll be welcoming a new arrival next weekend; watch this space! 🙂

Admittedly it’s not a complete airframe, but it is perhaps worthwhile noting that the cockpit of Argosy C1 XN819 survives undercover at Newark and is configured as a procedures trainer.
As an additional aside, following extensive upgrades / safety modifications I also understand that it was operated in this role on several occasions last week by one of the museum’s cockpit-openers; and that several visitors really enjoyed their ‘flights’!
Update: an ‘illuminated’ photograph taken inside the cockpit has been added in here!
Take a weekend break in October and book a stall here! :eagerness:
