We saw the #ClockWatching tag & thought it was a good opportunity to remind everyone that there’s a minor tweak to our daily closing time later this month to be aware of!

Here's part of our contribution in the 1950s from right here in #LoveNotts
#Meteor V-TOL test-bed #VZ608

I can’t help but notice some Americans are using Tesla demoing a shell concept car hopping for two seconds as some kind of global claim of technical superiority.
Well…
Thrust-based vertical manoeuvring? Developed in Britain in 1957, culminating in the Harrier Jump Jet, with the P.1127 making its first hover in 1960.
And the upside-down car stuff? That’s fan-generated downforce, already demonstrated by British car company McMurtry with its electric Spéirling, which has been destroying track records around the world for the last few years using that exact technology.
So let’s not confuse demonstrating an existing engineering principle for the first time in a Tesla prototype to inventing the underlying technology. And the difference is, both the Harrier and McMurtry are real world products, not vastly adapted prototypes designed for a single demonstration.
Rule Britannia, spiffing stuff boys and all that. 🇬🇧

Good progress overnight on the Drove Lane resurfacing and we’ve even had the correct highway markings applied to our Southfield Site entranceway!

We’re just running into the start of the autumn #HalfTerm school holiday & we hope our #GatewayAviationSite is going to be a popular attraction!
Access still possible along Drove Lane despite the signage!!

Thank you. First up was the #Viggen waiting for its cancelled BBC Top Gear moment! #HappyDays leading to this #NAMphotoShoot opportunity!
Well, back from Lanzarote now. It's a tad cooler here at home. Back into posting some random images. Tonight some from a visit to @NewarkAirMus in 2013.

Definately not that one - tweeter has checked Wrecks & Relics and was thinking of GR.1 - XX764 at Enstone - sorry for any confussion.
Here's a #Jaguar roaming out in the wild at RAF Coltishall by way of recompense - credit #DTEParchive plus a bonus Su-22!!

The earlier #Jaguar photo of #XX829 seemed to be popular, let's see what response we get to this #DTEParchive one!

We visited Newark Air Museum this week. Absolutely brilliant for anyone into aviation especially on the military side. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable,a lovely cafe on site as well. Reasonably priced entrance fee. A fantastic day out @NewarkAirMus

This morning the museum is accessible along Drove Lane from the A17 direction - albeit you have to negotiate a myriad of temporary road signs!
