For any Accredited Museum appropriate storage of items and reserve collections is an important consideration.
Newark’s next building project is a new Storage Building on the Southfield Site; planning permission was granted at the end of the summer and now that the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) has been waived construction is now anticipated to start early in January 2013.
Details of the building and how people can donate to its construction costs & the archive can be found here! 🙂
Also, as previously posted about these parts the RAFM is de-acquiring items and moving things out on loan.
“There seems to be some movement of items from the Collection.
Earlier this year NAM took on loan a Yellow Sun:
“The Yellow Sun nuclear weapon casing was the second item to be collected on Tuesday and this item has been placed on loan at the Newark Air Museum by the RAF Museum Reserve Collection at RAF Stafford. Yellow Sun was the first British operational high-yield strategic nuclear weapon.”
Plus a Skyflash missile set, which is now displayed alongside the Swift in Hangar 2.”
Please don’t forget where the Wallace project originally came from!! 😉
