Newark Air Museum

We're still having a few visitors being given incorrect information from the event marshals at the event on the #Newark Showground - we are open as normal this weekend please follow these instructions: newarkairmuseum.org/on-the-radar/n…

Yesterday, a visitor to our #GatewayAviationSite described the open cockpit access as “..a feast of cockpits!” So we thought that could be a good tag! We’re now running with #CockpitFeast for this school holiday & beyond!! newarkairmuseum.org/discover-explo…

Some progress photographs of the recently applied silver paint on the primed fuselage & wings of #Lightning #XS417 #NAMrestoration Photos #DTEParchive newarkairmuseum.org/on-the-radar/n…

We’re now in #SchoolHoliday time & the weather forecast is a mixed one, so our diverse #NAMusInside offer could be an attractive option! #JustSaying newarkairmuseum.org/on-the-radar/n…

Yes, he was the original owner of #Hastings #TG517 - also #Shackleton #WR977 & #Vulcan #XM594 - these latter two came into our ownership after a spell being owned by the Lincolnshire's Lancaster Association! Photo of #TG517 touching down in 1977

Sorry folks, busy times = lack of time to tweet! We hope that you'll hang around our timeline though!! #EveryNAMvisitConts newarkairmuseum.org/on-the-radar/n…

When the sky is grey it's not easy to photograph the recently applied silver on the primed fuselage of #Lightning #XS417 #NAMrestoration newarkairmuseum.org/on-the-radar/n…

During the coming days there is quite a large event taking place on the Newark Showground so we suggest that you ought to allow a little more travel time when visiting the museum. There’s also some extra advice in here: newarkairmuseum.org/on-the-radar/n…

Spotted earlier today on our #MiG23 whilst hosting a guided tour of our #GatewayAviationSite #SkunkWorksNAM

This item was found in a recent donation of aviation items, marked "Rotherhams Coventry K40" - so far we have been unable to identify it; does anyone have any ideas? #AskingForAfriend

Thank you for your well chosen words, hopefully we won't have any snow in the coming weeks! 😉😇

We’re now moving into #SchoolHoliday time & the weather forecast is a mixed one, so our diverse #NAMusInside offer could be an attractive option! #JustSaying newarkairmuseum.org/on-the-radar/n…

A reverse view of #Lightning #XS417 taken during the locking up routine yesterday - showing the silver paint applied to the nose area. #NAMrestoration newarkairmuseum.org/on-the-radar/n…

Not a brilliant forecast again today, but the rain yesterday wasn’t as bad as predicted & we had a steady flow of visitors sampling our diverse #NAMusInside offer! #JustSaying newarkairmuseum.org/on-the-radar/n…

Lots of interesting #Lightning items relating to #XS417 in the #NAMarchive #JustSaying

As promised earlier another from the #NAMarchive #Lightning #XS417 23.04.75 with 23 Sqn @ RAF Luchars 18.10.75 to 56 Sqn @ RAF Wattisham 17.07.76 to RAF Binbrook (1,244.45 hours flown) newarkairmuseum.org/on-the-radar/n…

The site has been unlocked; no rain so far & the first silver paint has been applied to #Lightning #XS417 - hope we’re not tempting fate with this photo! 😱⛈️
