Any used underwear?

Don’t know, but there’s a missing post!! 😀

Most Accredited museums will have the topic covered but it’s how you advise individuals or smaller groups without frightening them away! 😉

If anyone wants more details of the wider aspects such as Digitisation PM me an email address and I’ll willing send you some details on the subject, including Case Studies and the like! 🙂

Are you still interested in the colour scans of the RAFM Oxford @ NAM?

I didn’t get chance to check in the Archive last week 😮 – too many Vulcan punters!! 🙂

😀 You could always come along to this event for some ‘face to face’ aviation trading on Saturday March 2nd – still some selling spaces left!!

Thanks TO23.
Yes, they would be most appreciated, if only to give me an idea of the size of the markings, positioning, etc.
It certainly is.
I am also working on a model of W4103; fortunately I do have a photo of this aircraft.
I have developed quite a close connection with this accident. I attend the memorial service every year, which is organised by a lady from the village.
There are always many relatives from both crews in attendance.
I have pages for both aircraft on my Website – Link is in my signature! 🙂

I’ve just looked through my own archive and most of my Oxford shots at NAM were taken on transparency!

I have a couple of shots taken at Cardington before the loan took place but they’re not brilliant. I’ll have a look in the NAM Archive to see what I can find for you.

Critter,

I have some colour pictures on file of the RAFM Oxford when it was displayed at NAM; IIRC it wore the BAT Flight markings from a unit at RAF Spittlegate near Grantham. Might these help?

Also, would I be correct to suggest that the Oxford you’re modelling is the one which is jointly commemorated at the Screveton memorial in Nottinghamshire?

From the Aviation in Nottinghamshire booklet jointly published by NAM and Notts County Council:

“In the late afternoon of 14th April 1944 two aircraft were on separate training flights over Nottinghamshire when they suffered a mid-air collision, which resulted in the loss of eleven airmen.

Two were flying in Oxford LB415 from 1521 Beam Approach Training Flight at RAF Wymeswold, Leics; the other nine were flying in Lancaster W4103 from 5 Lancaster Finishing School at RAF Syerston. Eyewitnesses at the time of the crash reported that both pilots bravely steered their stricken aircraft away from the village of Screveton and into more open countryside, thereby reducing the risk of casualties on the ground.

Initial research into the mid-air collision was carried out by one of the schoolboy witnesses of the incident and the memorial was finally dedicated on 13th November 2005.”
