Discodaz Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Im interested in the shirts and mugs.im intending to get down to the museum over the Easter hols..this weekend hopefully. Daz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAM Updater Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 That’s good to hear and thank you for supporting us via possible purchases. The museum is open every day throughout the Easter Holiday period; times etc. are detailed here. It’s always worth remembering that you don’t need to pay a museum admission fee if you’re just shopping; lots of free car parking just outside! We should have some cockpits open during the same period and I’m just trying to gather some details to together and get things confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAM Updater Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) Sorry to hear about the transport issues - keep an eye on the NAM website for details of events & open cockpits - cockpit access to XM594 is a really popular activity at the museum and we try to get it open as much as possible.

Discodaz Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 What?? How did I miss the Vulcan being open today? Im sure it said Saturday then tuesday..has this just been updated? What's open if anything wednesday? Daz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAM Updater Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) I only found out myself about 2 hours ago and yes it has been updated - we rely on volunteers for cockpit opening as explained in here http://www.newarkairmuseum.org/NAM_open_cockpits and their availability can change; sorry for any inconvenience! On Friday we had the reverse effect due to traffic chaos around Newark and a volunteer not being able to get in to the museum, which meant the aircraft wasn't open. Not sure about Wednesday yet.

Discodaz Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I understand perfectly..it just doesn't help visitors like me who are 2+ hours away..but that of course is nobodies fault. As soon as you hear about Wednesday,let me know.its the only day me and the wife are free from work. Thanks for all your efforts. Daz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
