    … For my money all the winners were well deserved but I think that Matt and Sean should be singled out for the great work they’ve done on turning their Canberra around in such a short space of time.

    In view of KE’s comment to them at the presentation, you’ll be giving them nightmares with a phrase like that!! :diablo:

    Sorry we didn’t get chance to speak John, but everytime I passed by you were obvioulsy taking new orders!!! :dev2:

    ๐Ÿ™‚ Standard rates – info copied from news item in local newspaper:

    “Admission costs: Adults ยฃ6.25, Over 60s ยฃ5.75, Children ยฃ4.00 and Family ticket [2 adults & 3 children] ยฃ18.50. Appointments are preferred for Group [15 plus people] visits, although not essential and a party rate booking information pack is available on application.

    Open: Both days 0900 โ€“ 1700 hours โ€“ some cockpits start to leave by 2pm on the Sunday so we urge people to visit early so as not to miss out.”

    Don’t forget other posts about access from 0700 on both days via Aeroboot entrance [all one event – one standard fee for everything; not paid by exhibitors or cockpiteers!]

    Thanks to replies

    T.O. – have put XX492 in the list although not sure about the wisdom of including all military Jetstreams, same for DH Dominies. Perhaps just those in Museums???

    Roger Smith.

    No problem if not included – just thinking out loud! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Any reason for Post-War? Just pondering again re the Monospar!! :confused:

    Not yet! But Ros will bail me out!:D

    ๐Ÿ˜€ Sorted – but she’ll want to go back herself for another holiday and she’s needed this weekend or the cockpiteers may go hungry tomorrow night!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Weather forecast looking a lot better now for both days! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Another update has just gone on the museum website; no more cockpits reported but there’s some information about visitor car parking that might help some people! http://www.newarkairmuseum.org/newsItem.php?id=106
