Re: Miscellaneous Newark Air Museum News 2015
Everything is set at NAM for a busy Easter Holiday period; even the unsettled weather shouldn’t be too much of an issue with lots to see in 4 undercover display areas!
Plus the latest airframe on the Acquisition Timeline page is the Vampire, which arrived on 30th March 1973.

Re: Miscellaneous Newark Air Museum News 2015
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!

Re: Miscellaneous Newark Air Museum News 2015
The Big Day Out was a huge success, so much so we were so stretched that the TSR2 cockpit didn’t get unwrapped after all. Details about how the day went can be found in here we had 8 different aircraft open on Sunday.
Some good publicity was achieved for the forthcoming NAM events!
