I understand from the ‘NAM webmaster’ that one or two forumites have been following the link in #39 from September 2011 without success – for up to date 2013 Aeroboot information you need this link!
I can also report that a good proportion of the tables that are now provided are less puzzling!! :eagerness:
Hi Brian,
The feedback from NAM is that they struggled to source replacements when working on the Buccaneer and NF(T)14 – so much so, several had to be repaired and re-used on both projects!
An update has been posted on the NAM website about the October Indoor Aeroboot / Aerojumble Sale, which is now one third sold – but there may be some additional tables due to the Viggen remaining outside until after 12th October 2013!
The method outlined here http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?120168-An-alternative-way-to-search-the-forum normally generates superior results!

Seems from the announcement in here that the Viggen will remain outside until after the autumn Indoor Aeroboot, which means there could be a few more tables available for that sale!
Why is training viewed with such distain?
“The Cinderella of the Services”
A thought – everyone has to undergo training, without training you don’t get to become a fighter pilot, a member of a bomber crew, a rigger etc.; why not commemorate this aspect of service life?
I like them as well – but perhaps I’m biased!
No problem – the story is still one of the top stories here on the BBC Nottingham website!
It’s the ‘classic marmite’ situation – you either like the display technique or you don’t!
NAM has the Tiger Moth composite G-MAZY displayed in a half and half situation (that’s how it came to NAM from CARG in the 1990s) – as a teaching resource for school visits it’s a brilliant airframe; the gasps from the school children at the complexities of the internal wing structure are priceless!
A revised AOP.9 parts list has been reloaded onto the NAM website and from memory this doesn’t seem to differ too much from what was there before.
The text does contain the following note: “Some previous contacts are still being followed up, with several offers still to be formally considered by the trustees.”
So I guess the jury is still out on what has been offered / requested in exchange – part of this process may be influenced by the museum’s Accredited status.
As a slight aside does anyone have a paint reference for the internal cockpit colours on Harvards; there seems to be a difference in the colours on the cockpit areas of the two exhibits that the museum has.
Some try to do their bit to recognise the importance of training! 😉
Not as far as I’m aware of!
No comments either about the aerial photograph that was used in the BBC report and mentioned in my OP!! :confused:
I hope that your recent ‘sabbatical’ wasn’t anything to do with the ‘free-coffee’ that you’ve never had at my expense at this place! 😀
Glad to hear that you’re on the mend!!
