Recommended Posts

A further update has been added to the website, but at the moment I'm afraid no open cockpits are listed for Wednesday (struggling to find any openers after a very popular and busy weekend).

Tuesday - Shackleton & Vulcan

Thursday - Vulcan

Friday - Shackleton & Vulcan

Despite the closure of the A1 southbound this weekend at the A57/A614 junction and the resultant major traffic chaos in the local area, the museum is open as normal. We’ve even benefited from people getting out of the queues and breaking up their journey with a visit to the museum – open as normal on Sunday!

The museum will be participating again in the BBC Nottingham Big Day Out campaign, which provides free admission to a host of tourist attractions in the county.

Details of participants can be found here N.B. you’ll need the print-out if you want to gain the free admission offer at the museum.

On Sunday we will have several aircraft / cockpits open and a small additional fee is charged to access each one; all proceeds will go towards our ‘Project Panini’ – the new Education Room, Café & Toilet facility.

There is also some traffic advice to be aware of for next weekend – details in here. Plus the first participation details have been added to our website for the Victory Days 2015 event.

Vulcan update from our website: "We now have a provisional time for the flypast at Newark Air Museum, which is 1545 hours local (BST). One aspect to remember, as advised by the VOC is as follows: “The time available at each location is strictly limited by fuel, and the ability to manoeuvre by the weight of the aircraft.”"

The museum is now aware of a traffic issue next weekend, which may affect people trying to get to Newark to see the Vulcan flypast. This involves the closure of the A1 northbound near to the museum and a similar closure this weekend has seen traffic issues on the local roads.

We have just updated the information on our website to advise of this issue and details can be found in here!

As we say on the website: “These closures and diversion routes close to the museum have led to significant traffic issues this weekend (19 June to 22 June, 2015); please select your route carefully, allow plenty of time and don’t get caught out!”
