Rush of nostalgia there - my home town (Lincoln) and that of my son (Newark)! You've just made my day, thanks Bruggen_130!

Thanks, Hatton, since I won't make it to the UK this year for Christmas with my children and grandchildren, I really appreciate these pix. The Newark museum is within cycling distance of my son's home (I bike there, he takes the car!).

I see myself as an adopted yellow belly. I'll be finished here next year though :( Will miss that view out of the window.

I passed newark in the car the other day, the place seems to have changed. Certainly one of the UKs finest 'small' museums.

Looks like they have been very busy repainting the aircraft they have now got inside the new hangar at last. I was there last year and they didn't look THIS good! Well done Newark!

what's the wingless silver thing behind the camo Mig 27? looks like an Avro Ashton or something?

It IS the sole surviving Avro Ashton fuselage, WB491, arrived February last year from Woodford.

thanks albert. i found some pics of it - not much left really, which is a shame. i'm a bit of a sucker for late 40s early 50s transports...

Very nice - and I think I see a solution to my pipedream "aviation museums and pubs tour of GB". Are all aviation museums handily adjacent to Cathedrals? Ms Gnome likes looking at them. :rolleyes:

Quite a few! If you include Minsters and the like.
