-Hi Howard,
Just received the tickets for the April 'Table-Top' however, given the current unusual (nay, hysterical), circumstances and Boris's latest dic-tat of 'Avoid all contact with other humans', is NAM still planning to go ahead with the event?

If they get an engine for the Puma they will need these, they are the front legs that support it when it is swung up and attached to the gearbox they then form the front mounts

-Thanks again for thinking of the Puma project & I will make the rebuild team aware. Not sure that there is a plan around at present to go as far as engine fitment.
To be honest they may be the type of 'luxury' item that the museum will be unable to afford after the virus closure!
These web-pages are likely to become very important quite soon!

As with previous years I thought I’d try and populate a new Newark Air Museum (NAM) Briefing thread to use for short updates and news snippets from eastern Nottinghamshire.
As the year progresses I will provide updated details of NAM activities in here!
More regular NAM news updates can also be found in here!
Could a Moderator please lock the 2019 Newark Air Museum Briefingthread?
