    Can you confirm that is still the case ? Trying to get me ‘arrier displayable in time.

    As I said to Scott a couple of posts back I don’t believe that there’s an actual closing date for entries, but it does help the organiser if he knows in advance, for thing like food for the ‘cockpiteers do’ after closing on Saturday night!

    Why not email the museum [email]newarkair@ontel.com[/email] and ask them the question? I’m sure they would forward the email on to Bill O’Sullivan 😉

    right, ill pass that on to my mate and see if we can get down to do some Graft sessions if even just to get it semi complete, its better than nothing right?

    Scott,

    Different stages of work on a project shouldn’t be a problem and I believe at one time was positively encouraged!

    One year I recall Rocketeer was working on, and painting his cockpit during the event, which created a lot of interest from the visitors and fellow cockpiteers alike!

    Hi Scott,

    I don’t believe that there’s an actual closing date for entries and I know that in the past some people just turn up with their cockpits! 😉

    Indeed the talk at Newark yesterday was that some ‘regulars’ still hadn’t booked in for the event this year. However it does help the organiser if he knows in advance, for thing like food for the ‘cockpiteers do’ after closing on Saturday night!

    Similar story on the Aeroboot; talk of several new participants and some regulars not signed up yet. The lady in the Shop said that around 20 Aeroboot pitches sold so far and she estimates they get a similar number just turn up when they know what the weather’s going to be like. Still able to get a discount for Aeroboot if you pre-book before June 1st!

    MarkG, From the picture I’ve just looked at I think that you are correct about the cockpit – looks pretty smart to me! 🙂

    So adding that one to the current list they now have 19 cockpits booked!

    Sadly the land purchase issue can be based on several factors, not least length of term remaining on the museum lease, plans for the area etc

    As a tenant you do have some rights on rents and I presume that the museum has checked out about ‘unfair rent’ increases with their local Business Link

    Also very few organisations are totally immune from such issues! 😮

    Good luck with the search for parts!

    Hi benyboy,

    😡 Sadly the bus services are c**p, see note on here about cancellation of service:

    http://www.newarkairmuseum.org/location.htm

    There are some services detailed below between Newark and Lincoln but you would need to get the driver to stop at the A46 / A1133 roundabout and walk along Drove Lane to the museum.

    http://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/timetable-c.htm

    http://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/large-static/nottsbus/timetables/SEM46.htm

    http://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/large-static/nottsbus/timetables/TW67.htm for this service you’d need to walk from the station to Lincoln Road.

    The taxi services listed on the museum website are reasonably reliable. I would offer to collect you from the station but I know that I will be busy all day. 😮

    I hope this helps!

    The whisper around Newark today was that the ‘home teams’ Harvard cockpit, KF532 might be venturing out of storage for this years event! 😉

    Also a lot of gossip about a rather nice Hunter cockpit from an ATC Squadron making it to the event!!:)

    🙁 That’s a shame Scott – will you still be travelling down as a visitor?

    That’s a shame Robert; I was only teasing but it all sounds intriguing and I look forward to ‘more details’ in due course. Good luck with it! 😀

    Earlier in the thread someone asked about local pubs, coupling this with seeing John’s post about being local I thought that if anyone is thinking of stopping over they should be aware that there is some accommodation listed on the museum website http://www.newarkairmuseum.org/accommodation.htm

    Saturday 13 June, Vulcan nose at 12.00 noon.

    That way people have plenty of time to get there and it’s well before the BBMF Dakota flypast! 😉

    Any cockpiteers and aerobooters might have to be visited in situ!
