G-AMSV Returns to Coventry

An old friend returned to Coventry yesterday when G-AMSV, in her striking Indian Air force livery, landed here for extensive maintenance by our engineers. Sierra Victor was part of the Air Altantique fleet here for many years. She'll be here for most of the summer so do try to pay her a visit while she's here.

Baginton Air Pageant

The initial details for the Baginton Air Pageant are up on the website! As we don't have the space for a full-on air show attracting 20,000 or so people, we're aiming for low-key, themed days like this. A couple of thousand people, with as many as possible dressed to suit the period, should make for another great event!

The page is here, with more news on our live music (period style of course) entertainment for the day to come soon...

New Dakota Book

Geoff Jones just told me that his new book on the DC-3, released to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Dak's appearance, is now available. The cover sports a lovely shot of G-ANAF, shot by Simon Westwood before her radome goiter was removed. It's loaded with photographs, and anyone with who loves Daks (i.e. everyone) will enjoy this, now available on Amazon. And don't forget to help Geoff with a review if you enjoy it!

Nimrod Runs Her Engines

We've just confirmed plans by NPT to run all four of the Nimrod's Rolls-Royce Speys on Saturday 9th May. We expect the thunder to start just after lunchtime.

Come along and enjoy some audio power - and please dip into your pockets to donate something to the Trust to help these dedicated guys to get this rare beauty to taxiable condition
