Didn’t a Canberra from there go to Malta or am I getting mixed up? :confused:
What would they want them for?
Itโs very quiet up the A17 none of the usual gossip! :confused:

Best wishes from everyone at NAM to our friends at Caloundra and to everybody in Queensland โ stay safe!
In the early-1970s Newark Air Museum agreed with the Museum of Army Flying to exchange the nose of a Horsa glider for a Sioux helicopter, which was eventually handed over to NAM in autumn 1978.
Iโm not sure about the identity of the Horsa (my material for that period is archived at NAM) but it may have been the Mk.1, or was it TL659 โ BAPC No.80? :confused:
There was a Magister that was recovered from Ullswater and mentioned in this thread http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=66374

One ‘bump’ to try and assist 42(R) Squadron! ๐

I can think of a group in Yorkshire thatโs still active according to Wrecks & Relics 22, but not a โlong defunctโ one! :confused:
… the remains are believed to have gone to the long defunct aircraft museum/group at York ….
In York? :confused:
World War II related topics are still the most popular education activities with the school groups that visit Newark Air Museum – IIRC it’s still a topic on the National Curriculum.
Co-operative strategies ought to be explored as they can be beneficial even without significant distances between collections; as illustrated by the Aviation Heritage Lincolnshire project; providing groups recognise each other as partners rather than competitors! ๐
Although this is perhaps more difficult in locations such as Canada with the larger distances involved!
Such schemes enable regions and collections to punch above their weight in attracting visitors to an area; for the benefit of the whole. Yes there will be some groups that are larger than others but that can be beneficial if they pass on their experience, expertise and ultimately visitors to other sites in the partnership! To coin one of my favourite sayings โ โWork with people not against them!โ
I believe there is a company in the Hixon area called Air and Ground Solutions Ltd that trades in โC130 components including test & Ground Support Equipment.โ
IIRC it’s one of these that we discussed here http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=101808&highlight=C130 ๐
There are some good pictures on UKAR of the ‘tight move!’
