It’s a damp outlook across #LoveNotts but we hope this won’t deter you from visiting – head #NAMusInside first & then venture outside if the weather improves!

Last month we received the sad news that John LeBrun AFC had passed away. John was a former Vulcan QFI & a valued member of our cockpit opening team. Shortly after his wife Carole also passed away after a short spell in hospital.

Last year we hosted a visit from Revell to scan our Meteor T7 & Meteor FR9 (Mod) aircraft for their new 1/32nd scale Meteor F8 – a few kits have just landed in the #NAMshop as a thank you for the lowing the access!
They’re going fast!!
