Newark Air Museum Aircraft 26/08/19

[csnewton2701]

On the way back from holiday we decided to make a planned stop at Newark Air Museum. I have heard good things about the museum and passed it a couple of times without visiting.


On arrival it wasn't hugely impressive with the car park showing 3 aircraft outside and 2 hangars. However that was short lived as on the fence were 2 lists of all frames visible in the 2 large hangars.


To gain entry you have to walk through the shop which is packed full of aviation goodies such as books, DVD's, magazines and model kits. At a reasonable price on £9 per person we entered.


You can see some of the exhibits undergoing restoration and maintenance which is a good sign of preservation.


There are plenty of aircraft outside but the real excitement is how much variation is packed into the 2 very large hangars.


You can have a look around inside the Vulcan at an expense of £1 but due to waiting times we were unable to go on it.


I have called this thread aircraft as I have photographs of the engines there.


I would definitely recommend a visit.

Was there on 25/8 after the fantastic Stonedeaf festival, which was on the old airfield. Had not been since the 90s, it has changed so much for the better. Plans are in to have another huge hangar built to bring in more aircraft from the weather. You can see they have a lot of spare land to expand. Highly recommend it guys.
