    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.

    Iโ€™m 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:

    I can think of a group in Yorkshire thatโ€™s still active according to Wrecks & Relics 22, but not a โ€œlong defunctโ€ one! :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! ๐Ÿ™‚

    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€“ โ€œWork 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 โ€œC130 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 ๐Ÿ˜‰

    There are some good pictures on UKAR of the ‘tight move!’

    Email problems!

    The museum is currently encountering problems with its email accounts โ€“ if anyone has any urgent matters they are trying to contact NAM about it is suggested that they call in on 01636 707170; or I am happy to forward on messages sent via PM here!
