Something to be aware of: "Sadly on Wednesday 3rd April the museum will be closed for the day due to the site water supply being temporarily shut off!

Sorry if this disrupts your plans to visit over the Easter Holiday period."

Great to be back on-site at NAM.  The weather more or less cooperated but none of the forecasts mentioned that chilly wind!

It was good to have everyone back on site and by all accounts it was a good sale - my duties were withdrawn over to helping to host the AHUK Meeting; hopefully some of those attending that gathering proved to be valued customers at the Aeroboot!

Hopefully the forms for June will be emailed out later this week to those selling last Saturday, too many important meetings last week to get the forms updated in time for Saturday.

Sorry about the wind!!

I'm surprised that it took so long for anyone to take the bait!

At least the forms were sent out last night to the sellers who attended on Saturday - see you in June!!

I'm pleased to hear that restoration of the Boeing Chinook (ZA717) is underway. Trying to obtain items/pieces from official sources Boeing, Boeing Defence UK, Gosport and the MOD for example was always going to be difficult - they are very tightly controlled.

The photo published on Key Pubs W/Site today shows a very nasty crease in the fuselage aft of the captain's access door the likes of which I have never seen before. I have seen and worked with some very damaged Chinooks in my time - I can tell you. 

I note the aircraft list on your W/Site still indicates "Boeing-Vertol". I'm the guy who sent NAM a report on the matter in early Dec 23.

Keep up the good work at Winthorpe.
