New exhibit at Newark Air Museum
Newark Air Museum has entered into a loan agreement, which will see the cockpit of former English Electric Lightning F6, XR757 displayed at the museum’s Drove Lane site into summer 2016.
The wonderfully restored cockpit was moved from its former location at RAF Scampton on Thursday 12th June 2015 by its owner Trevor Garrod. It was displayed at the museum’s annual Cockpit-Fest event, where it was exhibited alongside two other Warton veterans the Canberra PR9 cockpit and the TSR2 cockpit.
The arrangement for the loan was finalised during recent weeks and the museum trustees were pleased to be able to provide accommodation for this particular trailer mounted cockpit section. The single Lighting cockpit will help illustrate the differences with the museum’s own two-seat training version.
