Cockpit-Fest – through the years
To whet a few appetites a new Album has just been uploaded here! 🙂
I understand from NAM’s Cockpit-Fest Co-ordinator that he should be sending out invitations to participate at this year’s event (on 18th & 19th June, 2011) sometime over the next couple of days. 🙂
No worries T/O, thanks for coming to meet us! And our Houchin’s the opposite- it runs better than it looks!
We’ll probably be down en masse next month for the Aerojumble- When is it again?! ;):p
Sorry B2 I’ve had a hectic few days and I missed your question – the next Indoor Aeroboot is on 12th March 2011! 😀
Have you checked with the previous custodian of XE317 – there might be something in their Archive? 🙂
Collecting More Aeroplanes
A second Album of photographs has been added to the Museum Photo Gallery – this includes early images from the 1960 / 70s of the first Anson, Swift and Meteor FR9 … through to the Canberra PR7 and Wessex in the late 1990s.
There’s one on display at Newark – how quickly do you need the information?
I’ve backed off the last few days to give you a clear run for tomorrow – have a good day, hopefully with lots of visitors! 😀
Anyway our Open Cockpit week starts on February 19th !!! :diablo:
Good to meet you last weekend ‘Blue’ sorry I could only spare a couple of hours, but at least you got a look inside XM594!
Nice set of pictures and just a comment about the Houchin – it looks a lot better than it runs!! 😉
The fund idea has been noted and if required it would most likely be done via this site where safe online donations can already be made to NAM. 🙂
However, so far there’s been very little indication of airframe availability as mentioned in Posts #21, #24 and #52 on here.
Approaches have been made over recent years but nothing has been forthcoming – apart from a few recent whispers of airframe storage! 😉
At this point I would reiterate the first line of the above post!! 😉
A picture of the Hurricane replica mentioned in post #5 can be found in a new album that has been added to the Gallery on the Newark website – entitled “Collecting Aeroplanes”
Website Updates – Collecting Aeroplanes
The usual Friday update of the museum website has been posted for Object of The Week; plus a new album has been added to the Gallery – entitled “Collecting Aeroplanes” it shows 12 aircraft moved by NAM during the period from 1974 through to 2006.
😮 It also depends on what “weapons delivery” you’re talking about! 😮
Hunter XF382 at where? :diablo:
Please pass on best wishes to Barry J!! 😀
I try not to – that said I’ve emailed out several more booking forms this morning, so the topic was on my mind. Not many tables left now – “For the opportunity of aviation selling face to face!!” 😉
