Just returned from Newark where I helped set up the tables for tomorrow – 38 tables now in situ in Hanger 2; although I was told that 1 person has just called in to cancel – 37 sellers.
As I left the Shop Manager said that nearly 100% of the telpehone calls over the last 2 days have been Aeroboot related – so come on you buyers! 😀
I might be wrong, but isn’t some of the collection held in the photo archive managed by this forum’s kind hosts – Key Publishing? :confused:
I believe that it’s an extensive Photographic Collection / Archive.
Which stall number are you?
Or which aircraft are you near? 🙂
Back on thread – A ‘National Benchmark’ Venom NF3 WX905 at Newark.
Nice to see so many pictures of these Significant little jets!
😮 Stop it!
Medal for Rocketeer for ‘services to hot-air debate’ on another thread? 😉
Just been advised about a news update about this weekend’s Aeroboot; details direct from Newark’s website:
“We have just been made aware of an event that is taking place on the Newark Showground on Saturday 28th February. The temporary road signs that have just been erected warn of possible traffic delays.
Whilst we believe this might be a cautionary warning after recent problems at another event on the Showground we would still like to suggest that Aeroboot Sellers and Buyers allow plenty of time to access the museum!
Sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause!”
As suggested on one of the other fora – the A17/Drove Lane route in to the museum might be better than the A46 route.
Nice one Mark and Bruce! 😎
To all cockpitters out there I understand that you can catch up with Bruce next weekend who is due to be participating here http://www.newarkairmuseum.org/newsItem.php?id=71
Why leave it here to suffer exactly the same fate as other Vulcans? It’s crazy.
Chox, please refer to an earlier post to see what some of the statics have contributed to this project and aircraft preservation in general…

Sounds like a good idea iank.
However recent contact with HLF via a third party, suggests that they are not currently looking to fund ‘large capital projects’. 🙁
So much so, the project I’m looking to generate funds for is trying to spread its ‘fundraising net’ much wider and into more innovative areas.
In my personal opinion that might have something to do with the ‘Olympic Effect!’
Perhaps this concept could be linked to the National Aviation Heritage Skills Initiative, although I believe they might also be struggling for continuation funding.

WV787 at Greenham Common in 1981.
Now a National Benchmark aircraft that’s displayed here http://www.newarkairmuseum.org/aircraftlist.htm along with four other Canberra airframes / cockpits.
Keith, I’m not sure whether I’ve seen the landing picture of WV787 before; nice capture!
There’s also a 100 Sqn aircraft on here http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showpost.php?p=1173880&postcount=27 🙂 This way it saves my account memory!
I’ve got a couple of the T.11s, of course one of them (WH904) is preserved at Newark now.
:diablo: What this one pictured here? 😀 http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showpost.php?p=1360792&postcount=6
Another nice set Pen Pusher. 🙂
