This Upkeep ‘practice round’ that is displayed at Newark Air Museum is a dark green colour.

The mine is on loan from the MOD via the Barnes Wallis Memorial Trust and was restored to MOD specifications; I’m not 100% sure about the authenticity of the colour as the work was carried out before it came to Winthorpe.

I can email you a photograph if you cannot see enough on the weblink above!

A couple of updates have been made to the NAM News & Information Page in the last 24 hours or so.

One item was briefly mentioned on another thread yesterday and involves the Free To Enter Competition, which involves identifying previous Cockpit-Fest event years – with four museum admission passes to be won.

The second item has been added this morning and is about a Book Signing gathering and talk at Cockpit-Fest. The book is by Chris Keltie and is called “Riding In The Shadow Of Death” and relates to a 61 Sqn Lancaster crew that trained with 1661 HCU at RAF Winthorpe in 1944.

Both topics are detailed in this link here! 🙂

Once again thank you for your search efforts and the further input.

It was Helen N who put Jim Humphreys in touch with the former Land Girl and the incident featured in her book relating to the two Hoveringham memorials – if you PM me an email address I’ll send you a copy of an article about his visit.

Whilst in the UK he visited his brother’s grave and it is the relatives of the other aircrew that he is trying to contact.

The normal Air Historical Branch and Hendon contacts have been pursued for the Aircraft Accident Card etc.

Details of a free to enter competition have just been added to the museum website, which is based around identifying photographs from previous Cockpit-Fest events – details about how to enter can be found in here!

The album of photographs to be identified is in this section of the NAM website!

So get those thinking caps on if you want the chance of winning the four Half Year Museum Entry Passes!! 😉

As an interesting aside Zeppelin now use similar fabrication techniques to construct aluminium bulk storage silos for material such as carbon black and plastics pellets. Their UK facility is located in Nottinghamshire, very close to the Annesley crash site for Stirling EH988 from 1661 HCU.

I’m currently trying to secure a Zeppelin model from them for NAM’s 2014 World War I display!

I’ve just been sorting out the participant passes for the Lightning Event on 18 & 19 May and these will be posted out tomorrow to the 15 organisations / individuals who have sent through their full contact details.

I believe that there are a couple of forumites who the museum is still waiting to hear from with your contact details – if you send these through as requested, I’ll send out your passes!!

Phew that’s a relief – but I guess the big question is …..might it be at Cockpit-Fest? 😀

With this 2014 event in mind I have forwarded details over to the NAM trustees to ask whether they are still interested!

😀 I know the location of a good ‘Christmas-tree’ airframe just outside York!! :highly_amused:

It’s a shame that NAM’s four figure offer for ‘Saucy Sal’ wasn’t accepted in autumn 2011, when it (XL164) was offered via BAPC – sadly the offer didn’t meet PV’s full expectations! 🙁

No it wasn’t, but there’s been a real scramble with the wise-cracks and yet still no one has shelled out with a hard boiled offer of a new coup for this one!

Sunny side up everyone … sunny side up!! 😀

I was over at Newark this morning and it was good to meet a couple of forumites who were visiting as a part of a Group Visit from another forum it was nice to put some other faces to forum names – one was all the way from Malaysia!! 🙂

Equally pleasing was the sight of some high level painting being carried out on the Hastings, which is now detailed in here! 🙂

I also noticed that a couple of additional photographs of the Auster AOP.9 rebuild have appeared in the Restoration & Behind The Scenes album in the Museum Gallery page!

A quarter dozen actually – but some don’t think that it’s all that it’s cracked up to be!! :highly_amused:
