After several failed attempts the Newark Air Museum has finally been able to secure a long-term acquisition target in the shape of a Bloodhound surface-to-air missile.<\/p>\n
This recently acquired missile was transported to the museum’s site on the former RAF Winthorpe airfield in Nottinghamshire; close to the border with Lincolnshire on Tuesday 21st May, 2013.<\/p>\n
After refurbishment the Bloodhound missile will be displayed alongside the museum’s Type 86 Radar Cabin, which recently underwent an external repaint. This is a complete cabin that was acquired several years ago from the Royal Radar and Signals Establishment and is believed to have carried the codename \u2018Indigo Corkscrew’.<\/p>\n
The museum also displays a Thunderbird surface-to-air missile, which was acquired several years ago.<\/p>\n
Some key items are missing from the new acquisition and the museum is hopeful of sourcing these items in the coming months.<\/p>\n
