I haven’t had chance to see a copy yet but I hope to very soon!
Yes, I’ll be in Lincoln for both parts of the AHL Magee commemorations! 🙂
That’s great Tony and for once I don’t mind being ‘out plugged!!’ 😀
:diablo: … why who wants to know? 😀
How is the Lightning progressing and what colour scheme will she end up in?
………….. slowly; and the colour scheme is going to be LTF camouflage!
A photograph from a couple of weeks ago can be found in the XS417 album in the Photo Gallery on the museum website!
As for “Winds Of Change” – why not feature it Steve? I understand from the Shop Manager that a couple of copies have already been sold!! 🙂
It sounds as though we owe you one Tony … do you have a link? 😀
Another Object of the Week has been added to the News Page today and this week it is a recently acquired memorial plaque to a World War I airman from Nottingham.
A couple of news updates have been added to the News Page on the NAM website!
Thanks Bruce!! 😉
A very apt and fitting tribute!
Yesterday I was advised by one of the organisers of the AHL Magee events that there have been fairly high levels of interest in the talk on Saturday 10th December – so pre-booking might be a good idea if you plan to attend!
Don’t get your hopes up too much … at this event at the end of September only 2 airframes were noted as going into preservation!
Earlier today I managed to find sufficient time to walk around the new Southfield Site roadway sections for the first time and I think that it’s definitely going to help simplify access during events like Cockpit-Fest and the Aeroboots. Some fresh photos from today’s stroll have been included in the Photo Gallery.
I understand that the new fencing should be on site by the middle of next week, which means that the RAF Winthorpe memorial will finally be accessible for museum visitors when they’re on site. 🙂
Across in Hangar 2 most of the previously missing stencils have now been applied to the Meteor NF12! 🙂
So far I can only find reference to 2 of your crew, both of which were as part of crews that went on Ops whilst with 1661 CU. More work required! 😮
Plus the O.R.B. still only calls the unit 1661 Conversion Unit (so far no use of Heavy)
Put us down for being there would like to bring our Whirlwind Project display stand plus a modern warbird with Kraguj 30131 please.Possibly if the owner agrees we may also be able to bring a Spitfire fuselage ?

I guess this illustrates one of the dilemmas the ‘chronological option’ would face – a Cockpiteer with exhibits from two different eras.
What would the solution be? Display them in one space or separate them out; meaning that the Cockpiteer would have to split their time between two displays?
:confused: (Just thinking aloud on this one!!)
