Update 26.05.10
The loan of the crates, panels etc will be a huge boost to helping return the cockpit of XS417 to normality in the weeks ahead.
From discussions held at museum last night I understand that XS417 may not be moved into its ‘repainting position’ prior to Cockpit-Fest. This delay will allow more flexibility for bringing the museum’s Jaguar cockpit out onto display for the event.
I also understand that there are more cockpits to be added to the participation list for Cockpit-Fest but the organiser hasn’t forwarded these on the ‘NAM webbie’ yet!
Sadly nothing further to report re-the R1! 🙁
Footnote: The Shackleton Association have a stall at Cockpit-Fest so that would be a good opportunity to catch up on any Shackleton gossip!! 😀
