Ransome & Marles changed name many years ago and in one of their later guises, RHP they were a good supporter of NAM in the 1970s.

As a long shot you could try the spares department of the current company http://www.nsk.com/

Edit: Just remembered that the name lives on http://ransomeandmarles.co.uk/

:diablo: Will it be in the letters page of the Daily Mail? 😀

We have managed to get a cockpit door but there are a lot of other things required

At least that should reduce the chance of hi-jacking!! 😀

I’ll make sure he sees this update and ask him to check for any other pictures!

Dave,

I’ve just received an email from the Museum Curator who’s seen your post about Dove pictures. He believes there might be some slides in the NAM Archive; he will check for you on Monday and then advise what colour scheme etc. they show. 🙂

Sadly he has also advsied that NAM does not have any Dove spares.

Whilst not specifically related to the STEM project I’m involved with delivering some of the Education Activities at Newark; some of which have a strong scientific bias e.g. principles of flight, forces etc at KS1 and KS2.

This can be extremely rewarding especially seeing the excitement of 20 to 30 young people flying their paper planes to test out the scientific principles you’ve been discussing. It becomes even more rewarding when you start to see schools returning for repeat visits! 🙂

Any positive engagement with young people on scientific subjects should be applauded and encouraged. 🙂

This link provides a bit of background detail to what NAM offers.

We’re currently waiting for 750 new education DVDs to be pressed that detail the history of Nottinghamshire’s Airfields. This DVD has been researched and compiled by some museum volunteers using the NAM Archive and copies will be sent to every Primary School in the County.
