If you want to send up some flyers / posters I’ll get them on display on 6th November. 🙂

No problem T-21 always pleased to try and be of assistance. 🙂

Correct pagen! (and the others – boy you’re all fast this afternoon) 😮

Scott – the aircraft you’re referring to is the Saab Safir, which interestingly was my first ‘successful import’ back in 1982 from Vaernes Flykstajon near Trondheim in north western Norway. Perhaps the nearest NAM has to a realistic chance of having a flyer in the collection. It was briefly on the UK register with the intention of doing airshows back in the 1980s!!

I’ve just had a quick look in Tim Senior’s excellent Hastings book that was published by Dalrymple & Verdun and whilst the aerials are pictured sadly they haven’t been referenced!

No problem Mondariz, but we’re not known for hiding our ‘light under a bushel!’ 😀 Glad we’ve got a potential new visitor. 🙂

A Lynx flown in would be nice. We did investigate that possibility for the Draken but it ended up being flown in to RAF Scampton, deactivated, outer wing sections removed and then moved to Winthorpe by road as a wide load.

T-21 – not sure about the Hastings aerials; possibly connected to the Vulcan radar fit carried on the T5’s. My ‘avionics info source’ at the museum is on leave today but I will try and check up tomorrow.

Good to report that the Hastings ‘clean-down’ continues to reach those parts that normal cleaning programmes cannot reach!! 😀

…I doubt anyone can tell the difference from 30ft away

About 17 years ago the RAFM Team that came to collect the Oxford at the end of its 3 year loan period, complimented NAM’s Restoration Co-Ordinator on the quality of his “linen-work” on the then recently completed Anson re-build. They were very surprised to be told that it was Ceconite and proceeded to undertake a more detailed examination of the work. 🙂

Hopefully NAM’s T.5 XS417 will wear 56 Squadron markings (circa 1975) when ‘eventually’ repainted – albeit just with the Firebird crest on the tail and nose checkerboards.

Nice picture in the current NAM Guide Book! 🙂
