NAM Updater Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Details of the first feedback from exhibitors at this event has just been posted on the museum website, so I thought it would be a good time to start this thread. Cockpit-Fest is a regular feature in the aviation calendar and this year it is scheduled to take place on Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th June 2015 at the museum. The event allows people to get close up to many cockpit restoration projects. As the event draws closer I will try to provide updates to advise what is going to happen, what is being exhibited and I will also try to answer any questions that may arise. The event also features an outdoor Aeroboot / Aerojumble aviation sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
