-Thank you for the feedback Rocketeer & I know that everyone at Newark will miss your longer term involvement; but equally will be interested in the "bang"!
Hopefully before now and the event in June there will be a nice pre-event write-up in FlyPast!! :)

-Thanks for the update and good wishes TonyT, details have been forwarded through to NAM.
The first listing for Cockpit-Fest19 has now been added to the NAM website and it’s good to see a first time exhibitor already on this year’s list; in the shape of The Buccaneer Aviation Group with their S2.B cockpit XW550.

-Another Cockpit-Fest update (2 in fact) have been added to the NAM website today - nice to see some more previous 'cockpiteers' returning to display at the 2019 event. Perhaps it's something to do with the recent feature by Ken Ellis in FlyPast.

-Hello everyone at Newark - Just to say a big thank you for a lovely weekend, all your efforts were much appreciated, here's to Cockpitfest 2020!

-I’ll second that, although because of work commitments I could only make the Sunday as an exhibitor. But a superb turn out and organisation as ever.
And also a big thank you to Ken Ellis and the Newark team for giving my Wyvern cockpit representation and Navy items the ‘Spirit Of Cockpitfest’ award. You could of knocked me over with a feather - well chuffed :).

I've been advised that the first invitations for this year's event on 22 & 23 June were sent out this morning so I thought that I'd start a thread to cover any significant developments and try to answer any questions.
