Don’t forget the Canberra model event tomorrow at Newark – plus I understand there’s an additional display of fire vehicle (RAF?) also due at the event!

A range of booklet enquiries has just been forwarded over to me from the museum and I will get these fulfilled over the weekend – so it’s likely to be Monday before I can get them in the post.

It’s nice to receive the overseas requests as well and the Commonwealth people and units are well featured in the publication. 🙂

As an aside I now have access to a zipped PDF file that’s suitable for email (circa 4MB) so I can now handle email requests as well!! 🙂

Just heading off to the Post Office with the first batch of booklets – 28 copies going out to the aviation magazines!

Only 9,972 copies left to circulate!! 😀

Probably get a better result on Google!

😮 Don’t feed the ‘system’ – help NAM instead!! 😀

IIRC most Jetstream engines are (were) leased from the French!

That’s a great idea Paul, if you can send through some photographs of your collection I’ll arrange for a display to be set up at Newark so that everyone can see what’s going on in Australia – Battle did this a couple of years ago and we displayed the pictures in the Dambusters Hut at the museum. You can PM me an email address if you like and we can make arrangements off board.

We’ll have to investigate whether we can set up any other form of communication during the weekend – the Newark Air Museum now has a ‘slightly’ better Internet connection and I wonder whether we might be able to Skype?

Another object of the week has been added to the museum website and it features a Nottinghamshire aviation photograph, which shows four people stood alongside a locations sign for “Trent Valley Aviation Ltd – World Wide Air Charter” – we presume that it’s at Tollerton, does anyone have any further thoughts or information?

The auction reference for Fulbeck is interesting as that also has connections back to Balderton; as previously referred to IIRC in the Australian Spitfire thread (would have provided the link, but the search function seems to be down)!

Thanks for the confirmations of yet another ‘family aviation story’ from my late father and grandfather.

I grew up with wartime evacuee tails from RAF Balderton of “the aeroplane that made a funny noise and didn’t have any propellers”, which was later was confirmed as the Whittle jet dispersed there. Followed by post war tales of “Germans” being based at RAF Fulbeck and this even resulted in a drive around the airfield in the mid-1970s to show me where they’d been!

So two tales confirmed, now just my grandfather’s tale of hundreds of British aircraft being dumped in a former gravel pit north of Collingham to fully confirm; this tale has been briefly mentioned on here before and some investigation work was stopped in the 1970s due to pheasant breeding – wouldn’t some conclusive proof be nice? 😉

I’ve heard tell that some of the captured airframes spent some time at RAF Fulbeck, Lincs – can anyone confirm that story?

Not exactly what you asked about – but along the same lines http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=86089&highlight=de-icer

The structure is complex and a couple of weeks ago we found out from Australia that the last known set of plans / manuals was only disposed of in the early 1990s when someone’s house was cleared after a bereavement – what a difference they would have made!

😀 The Dominie model gets watered every other day just in case it can be transformed into a real one!! 😉

Anyone know where the Harvard came from? Is it the old bitsa that used to be at Harrington?

Originally yes – due into the Workshop, once the Meteor NF14 emerges in its new paintwork!! 🙂
