Some late Vulcan schemes can be found on the scans in the Vulcans album in here – but sadly not the best quality slide scans ever undertaken!
The museum news page now features a final update for the Tribute to the V-Force event on April 28th & 29th 2012 – it looks set to be an interesting gathering with 400 plus V-Force veterans due to attend; it is also open to the public!! 🙂

That’s more like it – my searching technique requires attention!! 😮
A quick search has thrown up this reference on here http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=20416&highlight=Swift+radiation
But I thought there was another thread as well! :confused:
I’m not aware of any plans to change its current configuration – also I’m not sure whether any specific conditions were attached to the donation!
Great evening at the Petwood last night with good coverage on the local BBC TV yesterday – sorry this BBC i-player link is a bit late footage starts @ 18.29 and runs to 22.07 it includes some nice archive footage!
Just to add a little clarity to this resurrected thread.
As of 8 days ago Taylor Monoplane G-APRT was donated to Newark Air Museum and now resides in Display Hangar 1 at Winthorpe.
With regard to post #74 – Auster J1 G-AGOH was returned to Leicestershire after its long-term loan agreement expired. It was briefly rumoured to be going to Bedfordshire with a view to being a possible RTF project; however it is now expertly displayed in a custom-built sub-gallery at Snibston!
Some nice photos there of the Taylor Monoplane – you must have been on site during the ‘hangar shuffle’ that saw the Monospar briefly go outside to allow the Taylor in.
Your photos are like mine and you can still see the mud on the Taylor’s wheels from its brief trip across a couple of fields to reach its transport to Newark!! 😉
Today is the 70th Anniversary of the Augsburg Raid – is anyone going to AHL’s talk this evening as detailed in post #2?
Steve,
Below is the response from the exhibitor; you also have a PM! 🙂
“I will be showing original team photos along with flying helmets with oxygen masks, which have been painted to show the teams over the years. I will be also showing different types of flying suits worn by aircrew and the Macaws from Manby.
There will be a team members display board that shows all the team members from 1968 to 1973.
90 percent of the items in the collection are original but some patches and other items have been replicated to show people what the Macaws were about.
There will also be on show a selection of station items from both the flying college and the college of air warfare, and small parts from my Jet Provost XS177 that flew with the Macaws in 1972.
I hope this is of some help and people should not be disappointed with the display.”
Steve a request for more details has been sent to the exhibitor and we are still waiting for a reply!
We’ll be watching you on your parts search!! 😀
A bit of a bumper update has been added to the NAM website – 13 cockpits now booked in for this year’s event.
