Our event planning for 2023 is now well underway and the main events are listed in here http://www.newarkairmuseum.org/2023_Special-Events

This includes special weekends to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of Vulcan XM594 being flown into Winthorpe and the 50th Anniversary of the museum being opened to the public.

We’ll try and keep regular event updates in this thread.

Further event dates, like more photo shoots will be added in due course!

Hi NAM Updater

A great start to the 2023 Events Season at NAM... oh... what's that I see... two Aeroboot Sales

A very Happy chappy you have just made me

Looking forward to a few visits to the museum and of course taking part again at the Aeroboot Sales

Thank you for the feedback T1.

Standalone Aeroboots shelved for the foreseeable future, but we've been able to justify (just) & retain two outdoor sales alongside other museum events. Thank you for your support!!

Hi NAM Updater

It was great to be inside mixed between the airframes which made for a great atmosphere.

Having said that... I'm very pleased we can still enjoy these great Aeroboot days albeit outside alongside the events on the day.

Very much appreciate the museums decision to allows these to take place.

Looking forward to attending in the New Year.

The undercover space in Hangar 2 has been reduced significantly since it hosted the last indoor sale; our most recent assessment indicated that we could host less than 20 spaces - as such it is not a viable option for sellers or buyers!

Some Vulcan 40th Anniversary news for February 2023 has just gone live on our website:

A further update has been added to the website about the Vulcan cockpit access bookings for paying museum visitors to the XM594 Delivery 40th anniversary event in February, 2023

We’re nearly at capacity on both days!

A second item has been added to the museum website in the lead up to the Vulcan 40th Anniversary event next month – this time it’s a brief overview from 1982.

A third item has been added to the museum website in relation to the Vulcan 40th Anniversary next month – this time it explains how things started to change in January 1983 for teh Vulcan acquisition.

We’re still responding to lots of emails about the cockpit access to XM594 during the Delivery 40th Anniversary event in February – sorry for the delays & this being oversubscribed!

The Vulcan is part of our normal open cockpits offer with details in here: http://www.newarkairmuseum.org/NAM_open_cockpits

We’ve received several emails about the booking forms for the Outdoor Aeroboot / Aerojumble sale in April; these will be sent out in mid-February after the Vulcan Delivery 40th Anniversary event – a typo on the Aeroboot website page has now been corrected!

Good evening NAM Updater

Many thanks for the update.

If it is ok with the Museum... if I'm in the area after receiving the booking form... I'd like to pop in to the shop to pay for the event.

Looking forward to attending the events again this year

Kind regards.

Once we're able to get things sorted for the Aeroboot / Aerojumble I don't see any issue with you calling in as described to confirm you booking etc.

Crazy times at present, with a lot going on and not enough time to get things sorted!

All of the mailings have now been completed for the free Vulcan cockpit access sessions on 11th & 12th February, 2023.

Thanks NAM Updater

Much appreciated... hope things calm down for you and the Team soon... you guys do an amazing job at the Museum... all your efforts make for great visits for all of us and your daily visitors.

Keep up the great work.

See you all soon.

Thanks for that - to be honest it's likely to get even busier; we hosted our first education visit of the year today & we have an ever expanding diary to fulfil!

More to follow!!

We have now added a Quick Guide page to our website for the Vulcan Delivery 40th anniversary event on Saturday 11th & Sunday 12th February, 2023

Please check out what’s happening!
