COCKPIT-FEST UPDATE – June 18th & 19th 2005

The first of sixteen [16] visiting cockpits, Canberra B[I]6 WT319 is already in position at Newark Air Museum’s Winthorpe Airfield Site in preparation for Cockpit-Fest 2005. This two- day aviation spectacular, which is combined with an AEROBOOT aviation and avionics sale, takes place on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th June 2005. External Aeroboot pitches can still be pre-booked and some will be available on each day of the event.

The following list of anticipated participating cockpits is correct at the time of going to press, June 7th 2005:

Jaguar GR.1; Hunter FGA.9; Canberra B.6; Hunter F.1; Lightning F.1; Vampire T.11; Canberra B.2; Hornet F.1; Jaguar GR.1; Hunter F.6A; Hunter FGA.9; Hunter F.2; Hunter T.7; Hunter FGA.9; Spitfire; Phantom [simulator body]; Tornado [cockpit rig]; Canberra PR.9 [Museum resident]; Canberra T.17 [Museum resident].

On the Interiors side displays promised include: Panels from Wessex HU.5; components and displays from a Fairey Battle and Lightning XS457.

special guest for the weekend is The Raptor Foundation, with their display of birds of prey.

In addition a number of active exhibits will be featured during the weekend. A World War Two Merlin Engine will perform engine runs throughout the weekend; Avro Vulcan XM594 is also expected do perform system demonstrations throughout the weekend; Volunteers from NAM will endeavour to open a number of our aircraft for public visits throughout the weekend;

BBMF Spitfire flypast on Saturday.

Special Notice
It should be noted by visitors that as some of these Cockpits travel many miles to be here for the weekend, it must be expected that some will start to leave the site from 2pm. We therefore recommend early viewing to avoid disappointment.

Normal museum admission rates apply. Adults £5.50, Over 60s £5.00, Children £3.25 and Family ticket [2 adults & 2 children] £15.50. Appointments are preferred for Group [15 plus people] visits. Gates open for the public at 1000 hours both days.

Sounds like you have your hands full mate,

I see you were ground crew for said aircraft, did you ever get to have a jolly in her at anytime?

Has for the Swift and the other aircraft in the new hanger, emmmm they all seem to be going a deeper shade of Red in there at the minute, They are sanding down the Varsity in there and the red dust is floating around the hanger and settling on most of the other airframes, nothing a good dust down wont cure at the end of the day

Can you go into the workshop/storage area, or do you have to ask permission/book in advance?

If theres enough helpers around the museum on the day, then im sure they let you look in the workshop hanger, the work thats being carried out on the Varsity is in the new hanger which you can freely walk around and chat to the chaps while they are working,

I must say if you havent been for awhile, then id recommened a vist,

18th/19th of this month is Cockpit fest with an AeroBoot, should be a very good weekend, including most of the aircraft open to the public. Climb into the cockpit of the Vulcan, shackleton Hastings Varsity etc
