From what I have been told about the ‘private photo shoot’ at NAM in September 2010 surpassed both of those photos, you just have to pick your day!! 😉

Some additional dates / venues have now been added to the Counting Them Home ‘display-tour’; these are as follows:

3rd July – 26th July – Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Centre, RAF Coningsby, Lincs

26th July – 10th September – Grantham Museum, Grantham, Lincs

13th September – 29th September – Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre, East Kirkby, Lincs

30th September – 10th October – Cranwell Aviation Heritage Centre, North Rauceby, Lincs

11 October – 17th October – Waters’ Edge Visitors Centre, Barton Upon Humber, NE Lincs

18 October – 30 October – Newark Air Museum, Winthorpe, Notts

November 2012 – March 2013 – RAF Museum Cosford, West Midlands

The ‘regular American attendee’ was the owner of a F111 cockpit and I believe that he attended twice and that he came from Texas.

At this year’s event I wasn’t aware of any American visitors, although I believe that there were visitors from the Netherlands, Italy and the Czech Republic on site on the Saturday.

If the American web-traffic to the can be maintained and ‘cultivated’ we may entice a few visitors over to next year’s event. 🙂

That said if we could get the 50 plus Australians that have visited the museum this week to pay a return visit next year I’d be even more impressed! 🙂

This news came through earlier today after some feedback from a forumite so I felt it should be posted straight away – sorry if I built your hopes up!
