    From looking at this participation list I cannot see a Snipe listed so I can only presume that you are participating at the Aeroboot!?!

    Unfortunately at the moment I do not have a full Aeroboot list to check whether that is the case or not – I will be collecting that from the museum tomorrow. Bookings are still ariving!! 🙂

    I am not directly involved with the layout etc for Cockpit-Fest but I may get chance to speak with that organiser tomorrow; I believe that there may be people arriving on Friday afternoon and staying over both nights. They should have made arrangements to do so. To be certain I would suggest that you contact the museum either tomorrow or Friday to request / advise your intentions – 01636 707170.

    Cannot help with the blond I’m afraid – you’re on your own in that department.

    One request to any visitors on either Saturday or Sunday – please don’t forget that there is loads of car parking on the Southfield Site (at the end of the concrete taxiway car parking areas) – plus it tends to be closer to the entrance etc! 🙂

    It depends what arrangements you requested on your participation form.

    😉 Sorted Anon – can I delete you email now? 😀

    I’ve just finished printing off a few forms for WOS for the weekend; now for a bit of photocopying at the museum on Thursday!! 😮

    The local weather forecast is currently showing light showers on Saturday and light cloud on Sunday – fingers still firmly crossed.

    The Phantoms got a mention on the radio yesterday as well as mistyar66’s Dominie / 125!!

    This afternoon I’ve done a radio interview on BBC Radio Nottingham to promote Cockpit-Fest 2011 and the Aviation In Nottinghamshire booklet!

    Mistyar66 you got an ‘anonymous mention’ as I wasn’t sure what part of Notts you’re in!! 😮

    Partially stripped ex-Finningley and then subsequent souvenier hunters over the years – inc one ATC unit equipped with tools arriving on a visit in the early 1980s!! 😮

    Nice to see it has received some TLC – some pictures in here of it at RAF Finningley in 1977! 🙁

    I have some scans of XA891 and the Avro team up in Manchester that came via people connected to ‘Jimmy’ Harrison OBE AFC – it’s shame that they were provided on the understanding that they were never passed on to third parties and only published in the Newark Air Museum newsletter.

    Perhaps you might be able to access something similar through the Woodford heritage team!

    With regard to Empedia I understand that other ‘operating platforms’ will be coming on board soon.

    As for ACE funding who knows what they’ll eventually decide! :confused:

    I’m not sure about the IWM Airshow content.

    Empedia was launched in the East Midland and Newark was invited to trial the ‘pilot’ programme – as such it was the first aviation site to be featured. The museum has since been followed by Aviation Heritage Lincolnshire onto the programme and here’s a full list of participating sites! 🙂

    I understand the system could be rolled out around the UK in the coming months!!

    I’m still trying to get my head round it all as well – Waddington International Airshow runs its own radio station during the event next month on Airshow FM.

    …and also IWM Duxford already has this Airshow Ap!

    The beauty of the Ap and MP3 systems is that people use their own ‘portable devices’ to host the files – no need to hire equipment or re-use ear pieces etc!

    For areas where there is no Wi-Fi coverage Ap based systems can also use QR codes (square bar codes – see REF’s avtar) to activate download information!!
