NAM Updater Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) The museum has just been advised of some significant road works on the A1, which are due to start in August 26thand a few more details can be found in here – we are still seeking some additional clarification on this potential closure. This may affect travel times for anyone using the A1 to get across to RAF Coningsby for visits to see the Canadian Lancaster and to events on the Showground.

NAM Updater Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) This weekend there is a big event on the Showground, which may see heavy traffic in the area during the arrival and departure times – plus there may be road marshals deployed on the approaches to the museum. The museum is open as normal but there may be additional traffic to negotiate your way through to get there. We will endeavour to work with any external marshals to let them know that the museum visitors have full rights of access. Please do not be put off by any event marshals who say that the museum is closed – this is not the case and just be politely persistent with them!

NAM Updater Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) I called in at the museum this morning to drop off the member’s newsletters and I thought that a quick update on a fairly fluid situation at the museum might be appropriate. Various aircraft / cockpit moves are taking place to get ready for the TSR2 event and the Dominie arrival. Yesterday the Jaguar T2A was moved back from the Southfield Site into the hard-standing in front of the Canberra T19 and Shackleton. Currently the Gnat is outside, while preparations are made to move the Gannet AEW3 out of Hangar 2; this could be a temporary situation for the Gnat (further updates will follow if the situation changes. This means that there should soon be a naval line up with the Buccaneer, Sea Vixen and Gannet on the Southfield Site!

NAM Updater Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) As I mentioned before, aircraft moves can be a “fairly fluid situation” – the latest update is as follows: The Gannet AEW3 is now outside in its new display position. The Gnat has been moved back inside Hangar 2, as has the TSR2 cockpit. Preparations will now start on getting the TSR2 display set-up for Saturday 27th September. Hot news from the shop the Corgi die-cast Avro Vulcan B2, XH558’s have arrived – further details in here!

NAM Updater Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) The museum’s ‘Project Panini – The Build’ fund raising campaign has just received some nice coverage on the Museum Development East Midlands website. Fingers crossed that it help support the current fund raising efforts. Sadly due to illness the ‘Panini Hamper’ wasn’t raffled at the Aeroboot, but it will be raffled at the RAF Winthorpe book launch event – date still to be confirmed!
