Seemed to be a reasonably positive outlook from the stallholders yesterday but it was a bit cold – can’t buy the weather!
There seemed to be a mix of regular traders and some private sellers, with a lot of the business seeming to be done early.
Interesting that the date of the February 2009 event was confirmed as the 28th – although whispers went round giving different dates!!
This is now detailed on the museum website, which includes details of a possible expansion in the number of stalls available. I’ve also been told the £10 fee for a table will remain.
One final reminder – don’t miss out!
Looks like it might be a bit nippy on Saturday – if you’re going don’t forget your thermals!
Also just noticed revised opening times are mentioned …
“A special discounted museum admission price of £4.00 per adult will be charged for this event, the revised opening times will be 09.00 to 16.00 hours; with stallholder set up from 08.00 hours.”

It’s a while ago now, but in the ‘volunteer’s crew-room’ at Newark there was much discussion about several approaches that had been received from ATC Squadrons seeking approval for the museum to house ‘their Jaguars!’
Obviously nothing’s arrived yet but I just wondered whether anyone else had heard similar stories.
Perhaps one will turn up at the Aeroboot on Saturday!! 😮
At one time there was a rumour that a lot of Jaguars were going to be allocated to ATC Squadrons. Has anyone else heard the same?
Not sure whether these ‘links’ might help – sorry I couldn’t resist.:D
No mention of what Mk, perhaps you could contact them http://www.newarkairmuseum.org/newsItem.php?id=54

Can’t wait for this one, there seems to be a lack of decent aerojumbles up this way, lets hope it becomes a regular fixture.

John.
In the November edition of the museum newsletter a date of Saturday 28 February 2009 was mentioned for another indoor Aeroboot sale.
If they also do an outdoor one at Cockpitfest in June then they will be running 3 per year.
Everyone sounded very positive when I called in at NAM yesterday.
I was shown the layout and I’m told that the tables are being put out early next week on Tuesday – as I said before “an interesting setting!”
No problem – just a word of caution.
Anyone going to this?
If the escape compass has a luminescent face I suggest that you treat it with a bit of caution, because in radiation terms they can be a little ‘hot’.
Remembrance is one of the topics covered in Citizenship as part of the National Curriculum and many museums like Newark have received grant funding from the MLA and DCMS to develop education resources for both World War I and II.

Noted on Newark’s website from earlier in the week
“04.11.08 – ALL the tables have now been sold for this event – 25 in total; BUYERS still required – don’t forget the discounted admission!”

It’s a private messaging system for museums and groups that are members of the British Aviation Preservation Council [BAPC] – the message would have been circulated to anyone registered on that system.
Whenever buccsociety I will be pleased to try and assist.
