Kev,

In Thread Tools, you can use the drop down menu to ‘Show Printable Version’.

In this format you should be able to select an option to ‘File Save’ – then you can normally select the type of file; I normally use the ‘Text file’ option.

You can ‘archive’ all sorts of threads! 🙂

I thought WR960 was on loan from the RAFM – and I believe that they normally move their own airframes! :confused:

Well they did the Oxford and Harvard to NAM. 😉

Still it’s fun to speculate!! :diablo:

This is the display we took to Whitehaven Festival. It was hugely successful and will no doubt bring in a few more visitors. Amazing how many locals never knew we existed…

Don’t be surprised or disheartened at the lack of L N A [Local Non Awareness].

Some recent Audience Development and Non-User research at Newark has shown that some locals don’t know that NAM exists and they’ve been going for more than 40 years! 😮

TerryP – was the Mk19 picture taken in VL348?

It’s 10 or more years since I’ve been inside VL348 but I thought the hangar structure out of the cockpit window looked familiar.

Footnote: Doh! Ignore my earlier ramblings I’ve just seen the annotation on the C.19 picture!

Oh for something better to do on a wet summer day in the UK!

TwinOtter23: I haven’t visited Newark since they were running the “Sponsor a Brick” campaign”! But one of the museum staff gave me a lift back to the train station one evening. Beat that, Cosford!

All the bricks are now displayed in the walls of the entrance hall to Hangar 2; the scheme is still running on a low key basis but it might be coming back with more vigour very soon!! 😉

Just to whet your appetite a bit more; since Hangar 2 was built the following major airframes have arrived – Sea Harrier, Jetstream, Bulldog and Viggen; major rebuilds on previously stored airframes include the Gnat and Chipmunk both now displayed in Hangar 2; plus major repaints on the Buccaneer, MiG-23, Sea Vixen and Varsity.

Full aircraft list here!

Sadly the public transport is poor but the ‘occasional personal taxi service’ is something often commented on! 🙂

Plus if it’s wet!

I would acknowledge your obvious extensive experience at Culdrose, however since 1979 I’ve done three Culdrose displays and personally I’ve never been disappointed – albeit one was by default whilst checking out the possible acquisition and move of a Gannet, which eventually went to Flambards. 😮

As has already been debated around these parts, UK air displays aren’t what they used to be and sadly I doubt they ever will be again – we just don’t have the resources.

I for one would hate to see another venue lost, which could be the case if too much adverse comment is made about it – at the end of the day we’re in the UK and the weather can be awful!

IMHO we sometimes have short memories in the UK – Culdrose 2007 – brilliant show!

Don’t forget the ‘Mossie’ for indoor parades!

Until I helped Bruce move out one of their aircraft for a BAPC meeting a couple of years ago; the Swinderby ‘Mossie’ was the only one of the type I’d ever been able to touch!

As for the ultimate site owners … http://www.cemex.com/tc/tc_mt.asp … is British aviation preservation big in Mexico? :confused:
