    Yes Keith on November 6th the Harvard was the ‘most recent arrival’.

    Good to have an all ‘too brief chat’ on Saturday John – if you could call it such! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

    Thanks for the positive comments.

    Welcome – if you use the search function on here with the phrase Staravia, you should be kept occupied for an hour or so! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Newark has a Phantom procedures trainer with reasonably complete front and rear cockpits, which you can just about make out on the top section of this webpage http://www.newarkairmuseum.org/contact_us.html

    PM me if you’d like to try and set up a visit or see more pictures.

    Nice to see such a refreshing approach with regard to photograph fees! ๐Ÿ™‚

    I have strong personal attachments to TwinOtter23, with good reasons for its choice โ€“ but โ€˜Plugmeisterโ€™ is fine as a nickname and one that I will proudly wear as a badge of honour! ๐Ÿ™‚

    He taught me too! ๐Ÿ˜€ ….

    :confused: I think I might be being bullied!?!

    If you make it along you might be able to see the latest arrival! ๐Ÿ˜€

    That’s a nice ‘underside glow’ on XM594 Keith, perhaps aided by the reflection off the Exhibition Hall roof! ๐Ÿ™‚

    There are some old ones like this just outside Waddington turned into a Ford workshop

    Not sure how many are still left at Bracebridge Heath, but you can see an aerial view of the site on page 9 of the North Kesteven Airfield Trail brochure; you can download it in PDF format from here! ๐Ÿ™‚

    No problem with any Aeroboot feedback / information โ€“ just one slight correction re the date of NAMโ€™s next event, which is on Saturday 12th March 2011.

    One aspect of NAMโ€™s Aeroboots is that each time they tend to bring a small selection of new items onto the market. This is because not all of the stallholders are traders, groups or serious collectors and each time it tends to attract a few new sellers from amongst the museumโ€™s membership and from around the local area.

    As for the data plate display sfp54 โ€“ if you PM me an email address Iโ€™ll send you a photo; Iโ€™m out of space on here and I donโ€™t have a photo hosting account!

    What a service โ€“ thanks for that, Iโ€™ve forwarded the details on to the Curator.

    Shame about the Bf 110 wreckage โ€“ I think the last lot we had went from the NAM scrap compound a couple of Cockpit-Festโ€™s ago! :diablo:

    Only joking about the wreckage!! ๐Ÿ˜€

    At least two of the Macaw’s original JP’s cockpits survive. I think one was at Cockpit Fest this year and the other resides near Chester..

    I believe that Steve Austinโ€™s T4, XP558 was last shown at the 2009 Cockpit-Fest event; there are some pictures here http://www.cockpitfest.co.uk/ follow the previous event link and the picture is on page 2. ๐Ÿ™‚

    ….to read the Werke Nummer on the MIAG plate in the little frame of displayed data plates from a Me110..

    I was over at Newark today to host a school visit and during our tour round the Exhibition Hall I think that I noticed the data plates that you mentioned. There were 4 in total but only two had any readable information on them.

    MIAG
    LIZ Bf 110 C-1
    2(?) 0603 3563
    110-15-38

    RE4
    03365-39
    F1 28019

    :confused: Not being into aircraft data plates does this mean that NAM could own a flying Bf 110?
