NASAM Video Tour No4 … Engineering Workshops …
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/span>Plus a view of the Auster Restoration<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

This is the fourth short video tour at the Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museum<\/strong><\/span> and give a brief behind the scenes look into the Engineering Workshop and the Auster renovation that is currently being undertaken there.<\/p>\n

The aircraft being renovated is AUSTER AOP T10 \u2013 VX123<\/strong><\/p>\n

The incomplete remains of this aircraft were donated to the museum over a period of time starting in July 2016 as components were traced to locations in Felthorpe and Fakenham. Members led by John Self are now restoring it to its final military configuration as an Auster T.10 of the Army Air Corps.<\/p>\n

The aircraft was originally built as an AOP.6 and converted to T.10 in 1960. It had served with 661and 663 Army Air Corps Squadrons and the Army Air Corps College. Following its sale by the MOD, it was converted to a Beagle Terrier and registered G-ARLP, and first flew as such on 5.7.1961.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Can you help the Museum<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

In these financially constrained times, with the Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museum<\/strong><\/span> temporarily closed, we are grateful for any help that we can get in keeping the museum running. <\/p>\n

The museum gathers a great deal of its income from donations given by visitors as they tour the various buildings and aircraft.  Despite the temporary closure and the subsequent lack of footfall through the museum, we still have ongoing costs in maintenance, insurance and utilities.  There are two ways in which you can help if you wish.  Either by becoming a museum member or by making a donation.<\/p>\n\r\n
