    Like it or hate it radiation protection is an issue that is here to stay for the museum community in general and not just aviation collections. As someone who has worked with radioactive substances I can understand why.

    A very good talk was given by someone from the HSE at the BAPC meeting last February that was held at Duxford.

    Why not download the PDF file from the Publications page at the link below?

    Spoke to someone at the museum this morning and they said that if other groups register using the following web link:

    http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/referral/2331

    then the museum can also still benefit. Apparently it’s explained on the museum website and when they register at the Easyfundraising site

    A1 Lightning Update

    Update from the Newark Advertiser website today re the A1 Lightning

    “A scrap yard at Balderton must be cleared within two months, councillors have decided”

    But…

    “The county council said that the Lightning did not form part of the application and would remain on the site.”

    See full story below – Scrapyard must go:

    I have a ‘Virtual Museum’ CD ROM from Newark, which has a short video clip of XM594 coming in to land in the snow in February 1983, but there is nothing on the CD of them ground running the APU.

    The CD cost £9.99 from the museum shop.

    The Rover APU on XM594 is still run to operate the electrical systems for the bomb doors, air brakes etc. However I understand that the Rover is currently undergoing a short winter service.

    The last museum newsletter also reported repair work still ongoing on the corroded jet pipes, some of which are being repaired in their workshop.

    In the 2007 Events section of the newsletter and on the website there are details of a Vulcan lecture evening on Tuesday 22nd May, 2007.

    I joined several years ago. I hope they told you about your membership giving you discount off models and books purchased in the shop etc.

    Thanks for that, was a nice ‘do’ by all accounts, hopefully there will be a little piece in a future edition of Flypast:D .

    I have only just come in myself but I hope to get along tomorrow to see it all made official. Starts at noon I believe, more details on the news page of the Newark website.

    I have posted about this before but I am too busy to find the link, but below are the details that I posted:

    “According to the latest Newark Air Museum Guide Book the MiGs they have on loan from Hawarden Air Services are as follows:

    Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23ML “Flogger” – 024003607 “07”

    Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-27K “Flogger” – 61912507006 “71”

    But it may be that the MiG-23, ’07’ is an early M type not an ML; also the MiG-27, ’71’ might not be a K variant as this had a different and more sophisticated Laser Rangefinder in the nose.

    Both are listed as having been delivered from Hawarden, Clwyd on May 22nd 2002.

    Both aircraft are in the aircraft list on the museum website”

    On a different subject but with regards to Newark Air Museum

    Are there plans for restoration of the Mig 23 and Mig 27?

    British Canuck

    Detailed in the current NAM newsletter [November 2006 issue] are the following restoration projects active on site at Winthorpe since August 2006: Canberra PR7, Vulcan, Shackleton, Ralleye, Buccaneer, Heron, Canberra PR9 cockpit, Sea Harrier, Varsity, Javelin, Meteor NF12 and Hummer microlight.

    Some of those projects are mentioned on the Airscene link below on October 1st and September 11th entries.

    http://www.airsceneuk.org.uk/scene.htm

    I did hear a whisper that the Buccaneer team might move on to one of the Migs when the Bucc is finished.

    Having checked on Newark’s website tonight it seems as though the Viggen is now outside; see link below – second item on their list.

    Not sure whether to post here or on the Viggen thread but I have now seen Newark’s Dispersal newsletter, which contains a piece about G-AGOH leaving.

    Pretty much the same info as on the website but the newsletter does contain the following additional comment:

    “The space will also mean that the Monospar can be allocated immediate under cover accommodation when it returns from its off-site restoration.”
