-Just to get started, here's our Vulcan XL319 in her new colours.
A small dedicated team led by Ian Rutter has been carrying out a major refurbishment with a paint job that is planned to last for several years and help slow the inevitable corrosion that afflicts all aircraft kept outside. We hope to get her under cover one day but that is going to cost a lot of money.

-......I've requested the old NEAM thread be locked now so that all future museum updates can be discussed here.
Can the content from the old NEAM thread be transferred into this one??

-The purpose and request for closure of the old thread is due to the Merger of the museum and new name. Merging the old thread with this one would defeat the purpose. The old thread will still remain viewable.

-The Vulcan looks very tidy! Is this the same aircraft that was cowped by the weight of snow a few years back?

-Apologies for my ignorance. Is this museum what was Sunderland aviation museum and if so is it all located in the same place or has it moved. Many thanks.

-Lightning does look great-but perhaps the Vulcan or Trident guys could spare 5 minutes from their (amazing!) work and paint some fin flashes?! :D
raflec-Yes, it's the same museum, but they've just expanded their remit to include a bigger variety of transport machines :)

-Thanks for the pics, Stephen. Never ceases to amaze me just what the Trident guys have and are achieving!

In April 2013, the North East Aircraft Museum merged with the Military Vehicle Museum to form the North East Land, Sea and Air Museum - Nelsam for short.
Since the merger, there has been dozens of improvements to the museum and we now encompass all forms of transport. We were joined by the North East Electric Traction Trust during 2013 and they moved their collection of Trams to the museum.
This thread is to allow us to inform you of all the changes and our plans for the future and I hope to begin posting lots of good stuff here soon :)
