The opportunity to copy the Ashton material might be appreciated down these parts! 😉
Also just on the off chance there’s any Monospar stuff they’d be really interested!! 😀
…..the HEIII engines went on show at Tattershall, not sure if they went to East Kirkby. They were dug up in the 60s from Chapel St Leonards…
I have just telephoned NAM and confirmed that – the broken remains of the engine casting from the 2nd October 1940 He111 crash at Chapel St Leonards are still displayed in the Engine Display Building at Newark Air Museum. The more complete engine that was recovered went to Tattershall – as per my earlier comment in #6. 😉
Did the other engine move over to Thorpe Camp?
An up to date list of what cockpits are due to be open during Sunday’s 40th Anniversary Gala event has just been posted on the NAM website – here in the usual place!
To cover for different weather eventualities there is a Dry Programme and a Wet Programme of cockpits that will be open – an excellent response from the volunteer cockpit openers will see up to 12 different cockpits being opened at different times during the day! 🙂
Don’t forget the special admission rate for the day!
There are several He 111 losses recorded in “Lincolnshire Air War 1939 – 1945” – including one lost off Chapel St Leonards on 2nd October 1940, which was partially recovered (engines) in September 1967 and the remains destroyed in March 1973.
(Ross beat me to it – I believe one of the engines came to NAM and the other went to Tattershall.)
I hope that this wasn’t your flight http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-shropshire-22058426
Earlier today NAM’s Summer Aeroboot / Aerojumble booking details were reloaded here on NAM’s website!
Also please remember that there’s a Die-Cast & Model Sale on Sunday 14th April as part of the 40th Anniversary Gala – details about that can also be found by following the same weblink! 😉
Do you think it’s e-bay that is affecting the ‘live’ events?
Moggy
‘Live’ and kicking in several locations – shame that you can no longer ‘officially’ fly in to Winthorpe Moggy! 😀
I saw the press interview that he did, where a question was put to him and he answered – carefully and with considered language!
Unlike some other politicians who have tried to make an issue out of it!!

Yes. I take your point. Political capital, no less. To the very limit of what is disreputable.
Perhaps a change of newspaper might help, even the BBC headline reads – “Philpott gamble? Osborne chose words on welfare carefully, says Carole Walker”

Perhaps LBCMNicky will feedback your thoughts!
I don’t disagree with your thoughts about journeying into Lincolnshire to visit the bases, former bases and don’t forget the memorials – lots of interesting Trails and Guides being produced to cover that aspect! 😉
Looking at the memories page the veterans are starting to get behind the project http://www.lincsbombercommandmemorial.com/memories.html
I’ve just noticed this item on the BBC website, which is about three proposed designs for this project http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-22032163
Here’s the official page on the main site http://www.lincsbombercommandmemorial.com/have-your-say.html
It’ll be interesting to hear what everyone makes of these!
Prompted by the submission of the BBMF flypast confirmation paperwork yesterday 😉 and the BBMF website listing (hopefully NAM’s events will soon be added to this list) – the 2013 Event Diary on the NAM website has been updated today!! 🙂
