Newark Air Museum News 2017
As with previous years I thought I’d create a new Newark Air Museum News thread to use for short updates and news snippets from eastern Nottinghamshire.
As the year progresses we will provide updated details of museum activities in here!
This could include such things as the Indoor Aeroboot / Aerojumble Table Top Sale – 4 March 2017; etc., other event news, new arrivals etc. which can also be found in here!
Many thanks to those people who have visited the museum in 2016 and we hope to see you again this year and a Happy New Year to you all.
Could a Moderator please lock the previous Miscellaneous Newark Air Museum News thread?
Whilst the museum is closed today (1 January) we’re back open at 10am tomorrow, Monday 2 January 2017.

Re: Newark Air Museum News 2017
Already this year we have seen a slight upswing in the number of Group Visit enquiries that we have received for visits to the museum. Unsurprisingly some of these have been from aviation groups, ATC Squadrons and Squadron Associations.
To try and provide some background information for these types of enquiry we have just added a Group Visit page to the museum website.

Re: Newark Air Museum News 2017
Today the Saab Viggen in Display Hangar 2 at the museum has been the centre of attention. The Little Jet Company has been LiDAR scanning & photographing the aircraft for a large scale flying model project that they are undertaking.
As well as around the airframe they have been undertaking some internal photography of panels, cockpit etc. Fresh out of the camera in Hangar 2 here’s a link to a 360 degree view of the Viggen cockpit https://theta360.com/s/ifmcdFCMP7n0H5KP52WXhYPh2
