The acquisition of a ‘plastic Harrier’ might be considered worthy to represent the RAF recruiting role as part of the wider Training theme. This was mentioned in a recent museum newsletter in reference to the Jaguar cockpit acquisition: “A fast jet cockpit has been an acquisition target for many years and this one will help illustrate the recruitment phase of RAF Training.”
The ‘RAF recruiting’ aspect has recently received additional support with the provision and use of some previously archived recruiting films in the museum’s mini-cinema in Hangar 2. Further Harrier representation could also supplement the V-STOL story already evident at NAM, but who knows what decisions might be taken. 🙂
Rest assured that the funds ‘allocated’ for the proposed Nimrod acquisition could be well spent in a variety of ways – as ever I think that it’d be fair to say that NAM would appear to have lots of irons, in several different fires and patience they say is a virtue!! 😉
Talking of patience, sorry modellers NAM is now out of 1/48th Sea Vixens kits until January 2011! 😮
