If it helps there’s a picture of the wing-tip in the Lancaster Corner section of the museum’s Empedia listing! 🙂

What about Lancaster R5726 at Knipton, which is briefly referred to in this news item from NAM and has been discussed about these parts in the past?

As far as I’m aware all that was recovered in the 1970s is the wing tip that is displayed in Hangar 1 at Newark Air Museum.

There is a photograph of G-ALIH at Southend in the ‘Pre-Opening’ album in this photo gallery!

The outer wings survived the arson attack mentioned in another post and are fitted to the current Anson displayed in Hangar 1 at NAM. 🙂

RPS – thank you for your insight on the Meteor Ford site, which certainly answers NAM’s Object of the Week question. 🙂

I suspect that in next week’s ‘NAM 40th Anniversary Photo Gallery’ at least one of John B’s FSM’s will be featured – perhaps of the Hurricane kind!! 😉

Ollie – I’ll do my best to try and ensure that you’re reminded about Cockpit-Fest and all of the other things happening at Newark Air Museum. 😀

I’ll give some thought to the badge idea!

Blue_2 – as ever you’ll all be made very welcome and I’ll try not to be ‘too-stressed!’

One item that has brought good news to Newark today is that once again the museum is in the vanguard of aviation museum activities and it is nice to be able to report that earlier today the museum was formally notified that it has retained its Full Accredited status, under the updated guidelines as administered by the Arts Council England (ACE). 🙂

As you’ll all come to expect full details can be found on the NAM Website here!

An update has also been added about that same page outlining the updated situation concerning potential traffic issues on January 16 & 17 that will be caused by the large agricultural event, that will be running on the Showground!

Thank you for visiting the Museum / Cockpit-Fest last year Ollie – you need to introduce yourself in June 2013; there’s already a specific Cockpit-Fest thread about these parts and here’s the link http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=121493 🙂

Fingers crossed for better weather for everyone’s events in 2013!

The next photo album in the 40th Anniversary of the Official Opening series has been added here and this week it focuses on the big day itself – it includes an aerial view of the museum’s original site; photographs of ACM Sir Ralph Cochrane and the museum’s first President Air Cdr David Bonham-Carter {plus if you know where to look a young TO23 :o}.

A short update has also been added about the impending start of building work on the museum’s new Small Object Storage Building, details in here!

Don’t forget the interviews in Aviation Heritage Lincolnshire’s video clip ”Reflections on Operation Black Buck”

Sorry that it was the wrong one – where’s Mr Smith when you need him? :confused:

What was it with aircraft and garages in the 1970s?

The previous Object of the Week item featuring the ‘Meteor Ford airframe’ has been now been re-loaded onto the NAM website here – apologies for the small photo! 😮

Now I’m not sure whether this helps the OP’s question? :confused:

I believe that this ‘airframe’ may have been part of a recent Object of the Week item on the NAM website (since removed); here are the details that were posted:

“Object of the Week (29.11.12)

Part 22 – Attracting Attention ……………..

What better way to attract custom to a Birmingham petrol filling station called ‘Meteor Ford’ than with a Meteor and Spitfire aircraft?

You may need to look carefully to spot the Meteor, but it is there!”

I’ll see if I can get someone to re-post the photograph on the NAM website.

Additional information: no luck with the photo yet, but I am told that the ‘Meteor Ford airframe’ that was illustrated wore the codes Y-AU and it was an Esso garage!! 😀
