Glad to be of assistance Reggie and I hope that you have good weather when you visit – the Viggen seems to like the sun on its back. :thumb:

It would be interesting to know how many others may be popping over in the coming weeks! :pop:

Sounds like a good plan - we suspect that a lot of people may be planning to visit in similar circumstances! :thumb:

Glad you got some pictures - sorry about the weather!

A brief update on the Viggen’s spell outside has just been added in here – it seems likely that the Viggen will remain outside until at least the end of this month.

I'm just back from a two week holiday in the USA so I'm not back up to speed yet with current movement plans re this aircraft - all that I know is that it didn't suffer too much in the bad weather earlier this week.

I should know more when I visit tomorrow! :thumb:

I've just taken a phone call during which I learnt that the Viggen is still outside and as of now there are no plans to move it back inside - as soon as anything is agreed I will advise details of any 'move-in' date. :thumb:

We don’t mind at all – the more photographs the merrier!

When we can get things sorted, we have a couple of Viggen related matters to also arrange before it goes back inside – not least getting that skip moved!! :Oops:

Hopefully plenty of time to arrange a workable nightshoot maybe ;)

It's a while since I've been to Newark. (Our 2 month old daughter was in her pram when we last came - she starts her second year at university in September!). I may try and wangle a day off in September and pop down to Coningsby for the Saudi aircraft via a visit to this excellent museum that I've sadly neglected.

Zymurgy661 – time will tell; a couple of items are being worked on.

stevep22 – a lot has changed in that time span; my oldest son has just graduated from university and when I think what has happened since he was born I think that you might be in for a surprise. Have a great visit!

While the Saab Viggen is displayed outside at Winthorpe we are holding a day/night photo shoot using this and several other museum aircraft (Lightning T5; Jaguar T2A; Meteor NF(T)14) on Saturday 5th October 2013.

Places are limited so if you want to receive details please check out here about booking a place!
