Members and guests
I have a visit arranged for you as above ...you will be allowed to see most of the stored frames as well ..just the 3 small stuff like Easy riser type thingys not accesable .in storage bags..

Iwould really appreciate you posting your name( by message if you prefer ) ...not your NWAN avatar name.....so I can then do a list of attendees for the Hooton sign in and out system ...I can put xxxxx guests and attach list to sign in record this will of course also show me numbers interested

A donation of £5 per head hopefully would not be too much to ask ..the same as Hootons normal Museum entrance fee...cash please as the electronic gizmos only come out for event days..
.
Please liase amongzst yourselves re car pool .... maybe help anyone needing a lift ? etc

DIRECTIONS

200 yards from exit 6 on M53 marked Vauxhall cars only it is OK if you are driving other types! ...if coming from Chester direction it is a sharp 180 left turn as you enter the exit slip


From Bebington direction you exit 6 through a lane joining from A41 ..this exit is so close after 5 that there are no 3 2 1 countdown markers for it ...the overhead gantry also shows Vauxhall

You then turn right at the grass covered roundabout and 150 metres to the entrance on left ,..just before a yellow height restruiction bar over the road ...if nobody at gate just slide the padlock retaining bar open ...please close gate after entering
Hope the improvements at Hooton will impress as much as the feedback we had from some ofthe 2000+ visitors the open day had on Saturday

Any queries please message me

Regards Dave

Exit ramp from Bebington is short Steve ...from Chester is OK ...sorry I didnt spot you Saturday .I did manage to get a few bods into the stored area and of course would have included you ..met loads of others
To answer your question .In storage in the other bay are Meteor T7 in sections .5 cadet gliders ...3 fuselage ...one short fuselage ..the old NAPS collection box! and 1 nose ...2 Sioux helos ..Canberra nose ...sadly the nose of the ex Crowne Plaza Rapide...Chipmunk fuselage section and maybe the Gannet nose Vampire nose and Sopwith replica may have gone back in store after Saturdays event another glidr is viewable through the windows of the old display room ......

regards Dave
