hurricanemk1c 195 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Hi all, A few of the snaps taken from my recent trip to the UK to relax after exams. The first batch is from Newark Air Museum, on the former RAF Winthorpe site and part of the Newark Showground. Included is the little flypast by the RAF Hercules: https://www.flickr.com/photos/111752039@N08/sets/72157645289964188/ Thanks for looking! Kieran 1 Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,495 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Superb shots, what an unusual selection of aircraft, you got a great camera there (Now tell me it was a phone!) Link to post Share on other sites
Paul K 22 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Great pictures, Kieran. By the look of it, the Hastings has received a lick of paint since I was there. Link to post Share on other sites
SEATAC 400 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I thought you meant Newark, NJ. Don't you guys have cities or towns that are not named after some place in the U.S.A. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Great photos, Chuck. I think I see one shot with V1 components. John Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Thanks folks @Richard - we'll try to come up with more original place names if you also do @John - correct, there were V-1 bits there, as well as parts from a crashed Lancaster. There will be more German rocketry in the near future when I upload the shots I took at Cosford the next day Link to post Share on other sites
Paul K 22 Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Richard, you're right! It should have been Old York here. Greetings from Cambridge, by the way. Link to post Share on other sites
hifly 925 Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Great pics Kieran and good luck with the exam results. If you don't go for a career in some kind of transportation, photography is always an option. Link to post Share on other sites

rob16584 42 Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Great shots Kieran. I've not been the Newark for years, can you still go inside the Vulcan cockpit? Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 If there is volunteers there that have been 'trained' in Health and Safety, the Vulcan could be open. Same as the Shack and the Hastings. On 'Open Cockpit Days' I imagine they are all open. I went into the Vulcan in 2008 and the Hastings in 2010 Link to post Share on other sites
flybytes 34 Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 SeaTac/Richard, Surely you've heard of the following places across the pond in the UK : New New York New New England New New Manchester New New Britain New New London New New Castle New New Brighton New New Oxford New New Kensington New New Kent I'm sure there are many more. There are also : New Boston New Manchester New Birmingham There is even a New Newark (not sure if it has an air museum)! etc - the list goes on...

Just discovered what the 'quote button' does & why it's there! Link this post to mine immediately above & you will not need to scroll up the postings to see what I was talking about.
