Cockpit-Fest 2016 proved to be another great event at the Newark Air Museum site in eastern Nottinghamshire.<\/p>\n
The museum trustees were particularly thankful to a host of people: all of the Cockpiteers and Exhibitors, their friends and families; the Aeroboot stall holders; the museum staff, aircraft openers and volunteers who helped during the build-up, during and after the event.<\/p>\n
Support for this year\u2019s event came from the following people and organisations:<\/p>\n
Ken Ellis (\u2018Wrecks & Relics \u2013 Spirit of Cockpit-Fest\u2019 Awards)<\/p>\n
Simon Pulford \u2013 Air Pulford<\/p>\n
Rays-Tek Surplus Ltd<\/p>\n
The Museum Shop<\/p>\n
Once again there was a diverse range of cockpits and supporting displays on show and everyone who displayed at the event was a winner and a credit to this wonderfully diverse hobby. Below are this year\u2019s official results<\/p>\n
