27 July update
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lots of work done today by the Newcastle Aviation Academy members on the surrounds of the Vulcan. Its a long hard slog to find the tennis court, but it is getting there.
The Dragonfly needs its blades put on, then it is complete. A spare engine is going to be cleaned up and displayed with it once it moves into the display hall.
Mr. Simon Glancey
www.wwrgallery.co.uk paid us a visit today and a deal has been done regarding his wonderful prints of our aircraft. In the near future (subjet to the size of the manager's wallet) we shall be selling his prints from the museum. Please visit his website above to see what he does!
Webcams have been fitted today, the server is up and running, and a preliminary website has been set up. Thanks here must go to the Ghost Haunted team,
www.ghosthaunted.co.uk with whom we are dealing very closely, and without whom none of this would have been possible. I'll update you with a website address after I have checked it out. It will be updated regularly! There is an interim website which they have set up - please follow their website for directions, or use this link straight to the site:

Reference the position of the Vulcan - she cannot stay where she is for the reasons mentioned above. We will lose the passing trade who see her, but this should be more than compensated for by the rapid improvement in advertising / website / and changes in the layout at the site.
If we can move her over the grassed area while work is carried out, then by the time she is painted up, a hangar should have been built covering her original position, so she can be moved back. 'Funding' I hear you cry - depending on a couple of deals, the hangar can be built.
However, we are still looking for sponsors for the Vulcan restoration as we cannot pin all hopes on the salvation of the museum on a couple of deals....
