Why has it taken a year? Well, it\u2019s been quite a journey.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We mentioned in the previous Blog that, for around 80 years, the coat had spent its life on a peg in the back of a barn on the Shield family farm, so its condition certainly showed it had some stories to tell. Wanting to display the coat with the respect it deserved, we set about obtaining a grant to provide a suitable case with proper humidity control.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Museum Development South-East had an \u2018On Display!\u2019 grant to assist museums with this type of project and we were fortunate to secure their funding. The \u2018On Display!\u2019 Grant was contingent on a condition assessment being made on the coat and this was where we came up against a hurdle. Eighty Toronto winters had taken their toll, and the coat needed considerable conservation work to be safely displayed on a mannequin.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"28353\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/aviationmuseum.site\/index.php\/2026\/02\/28\/online-flier-28-02-26\/flying-coat-outer\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationmuseum.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Flying-Coat-Outer-scaled.jpg?fit=1920%2C2560&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1920,2560\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;SM-S901B&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1740920975&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;5.4&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;125&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.01&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Flying Coat &amp;#8211; Outer\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationmuseum.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Flying-Coat-Outer-scaled.jpg?fit=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-28353 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationmuseum.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Flying-Coat-Outer.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationmuseum.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Flying-Coat-Outer-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationmuseum.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Flying-Coat-Outer-scaled.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationmuseum.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Flying-Coat-Outer-scaled.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationmuseum.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Flying-Coat-Outer-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationmuseum.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Flying-Coat-Outer-scaled.jpg?resize=1320%2C1760&amp;ssl=1 1320w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationmuseum.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Flying-Coat-Outer-scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Before conservation \u2013 the sleeves and&nbsp;shoulders were fragile.<\/span><\/h6>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another request to Museum Development South-East as well as The Suffolk Culture Project Fund (Suffolk County Council) and the Association for Suffolk Museums (AfSM) secured three further grants to undertake this conservation work, carried out by Deborah Phipps of Conservation and Design Services, which is part of Norfolk County Council\u2019s Norfolk Museums Service.<\/p>\n<p>Along with the coat, Patrick donated hundreds of digital photographs relating to his grandfather\u2019s time flying Felixstowes in 1917-18 and was able to pass on many anecdotes. These included the time Thomas was shot down and, after ditching off Lowestoft, endured four freezing hours in the North Sea, wearing the flying coat, before being rescued.

Over recent years, it has not proved possible to attend any of these due to a lack of volunteers. This year, we believe that we can support such events and that it will be good to get the message out there.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To that end, we are collecting together several items that we can use to set up an outreach display. We are in the process of identifying items, creating a safe way to transport them, and if necessary, restoring them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the photos are three such items. The first is a model of a Vickers Wellington made in 1942, which was donated to the museum on Tuesday, 24th February. It comes in its own carry case in the shape of a hangar. It is fully secured inside the case, making it ideal for this purpose. One of our volunteers is currently restoring both the aircraft and the carry case hangar.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The second item is a 1\/8 scale model of a Fokker Dr.1 which has been in the museum store for many years. It is clearly rather fragile to transport, so another volunteer is creating a custom-made case to allow safe transport to events.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The third item is a mystery. As they say, if you know what it is, then please come along to one of our events and tell us to see whether you are right. A clue is that it was a vital invention that gave great service in the Second World War.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Keep following the blog for additional items, plus we will also let you know where and when you can come and meet us &#8220;<strong>back on the road<\/strong>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<h5>Steve B<\/h5>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Photos_Back_on_the_Road_Again\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #008000;\">(Photos) Back on the Road Again<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\nngg_shortcode_1_placeholder\n<h2><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"12876\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/aviationmuseum.site\/index.php\/2021\/03\/28\/nasam-online-flier-28-03-2021\/blue-divider-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationmuseum.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Blue-Divider-1.jpg?fit=1272%2C101&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1272,101\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1616778120&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Blue Divider\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationmuseum.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Blue-Divider-1.jpg?fit=1024%2C81&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12876 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationmuseum.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Blue-Divider-1.jpg?resize=640%2C51&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"51\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationmuseum.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Blue-Divider-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C81&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationmuseum.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Blue-Divider-1.jpg?resize=300%2C24&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationmuseum.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Blue-Divider-1.jpg?resize=768%2C61&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationmuseum.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Blue-Divider-1.jpg?w=1272&amp;ssl=1 1272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Teams_At_The_Museum\"><\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\">Teams At The Museum<\/span><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>News from the Various Team<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Paint_Team_Updates\"><\/span>Paint Team Updates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h5><strong>17\/02\/26 \u2013 When the going gets tough\u2026!<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With the temperature a heady 3 degrees upon arrival, it made perfect sense (not!) to spend the day outside pressure washing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The more sensible among us quickly found other matters to attend to. Private Walker took a duvet day, having caught a bit of masculine influenza. Gwen stayed in the Main Hangar and painted the stand for the Hawker Henley wing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Back out in the \u2018fresh\u2019 air, Mark was initially thwarted from finishing pressure washing the Javelin by the lack of available water! Initial diagnosis was that the near freezing conditions had blocked the pipe, but it then transpired that the chaps re-siting the stand-pipe to just outside the 446<sup>th<\/sup> may have overlooked the need to still run water down to the other stand-pipe by the gate. Whoopsie!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A few \u2018daisy chained\u2019 hoses later and Mark was back in the game and spent the morning finishing off the port side of the Javelin (see pic).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After lunch, Mark turned his attention (and Karcher) towards the grimy Meteor. Up on the tail stabilators things were in a very sorry state (see pic) due to the proximity of neighbouring trees. By close of play, Mark had cleaned most of the port side (see pic) including the tail stabilator that was now looking less grimy, but also less painted too (see pic)!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Elsewhere, Barry continued to pressure wash\/strip paint off of Canberra WH840. By end of business the starboard side from nose to tail had been moderately pressure washed. The underside of the fuselage and tail stabilator had also been stripped more aggressively of most of their paint, potentially saving us lots of time and effort in sanding back as part of this year\u2019s main restoration job.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Oddly, the paint on the downward facing surfaces came off fairly easily in big flakes (see pic), whereas the paint on the upward facing surfaces seemed reasonably well bonded. That said, most of the WOCO high speed silver topside had turned into a very dull (partly algae impregnated) yellowy-grey colour and was definitely in need of a full repaint. This caused the team to speculate that maybe the undersides had still been damp when WH840 was last repainted in 2019 (being that bit closer to the moisture retaining grass). Something to ponder further this time round. Answers on a postcard please.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Photos_Painters_Update_170226\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #008000;\">(Photos) Painters Update 17\/02\/26<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\nngg_shortcode_2_placeholder\n<h3><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"17840\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/aviationmuseum.site\/index.php\/2022\/05\/31\/nasam-online-flier-31-05-22\/divider-within-articles\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationmuseum.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Divider-within-Articles.jpg?fit=778%2C50&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"778,50\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Divider within Articles\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationmuseum.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Divider-within-Articles.jpg?fit=778%2C50&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-17840 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationmuseum.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Divider-within-Articles.jpg?resize=300%2C19&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"19\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationmuseum.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Divider-within-Articles.jpg?resize=300%2C19&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationmuseum.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Divider-within-Articles.jpg?resize=768%2C49&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aviationmuseum.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Divider-within-Articles.jpg?w=778&amp;ssl=1 778w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h5><strong>24\/02\/26 \u2013 Have you got any O\u2019s?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Well folks, everyone seemed a bit more chipper this week, probably because it was about 10 degrees warmer than last Tuesday!<\/p>\n<p>Our resident London Boys (Mark and Ian W.) started to set up shop for another day\u2019s pressure washing in the front field and then lapsed into some sort of Two Ronnies parody as they battled with their O\u2019s (for non-Londoners, that\u2019s \u2018hose\u2019). Still bemoaning the lack of a functioning standpipe by the front gate after last week\u2019s \u2018cut off\u2019 the boys had to \u2018daisy chain\u2019 their O\u2019s together, only to find one of the O\u2019s was leaking. A bit of gaffer tape later and the boys were in business, sort of.<\/p>\n<p>Mark picked up where he left off last week and finished the Meteor (see pic). Across the way, Ian W. spent the morning cleaning the Mystere (see pic).<\/p>\n<p>Outside the Main Hangar, Gwen took a day off from painting engine stands and aimed her pressure washer at the external exhibits in front of Bomber Command. First up was the Pundit light, followed by the green trailer with a dish thingy. After that it was onto the Hunter T12 nose (see pic). Even the comparatively feeble MacAllister pressure washer managed to inadvertently strip most of the white paint off of the cockpit surrounds. So, Gwen has got herself a job to repaint the top of the T12 when it gets a bit warmer!<\/p>\n<p>Next up was Canberra \u2018Nosey\u2019 WG789. There was a collective holding of breath as Gwen took the MacAllister to Nosey. Fortunately, no Noseys were harmed during the ensuing wash process. The Dacrylate, plus clear coat, that was applied late last summer stood up very well to its first winter, and first pressure wash. This bodes well for the planned refurb of WH840 this summer using the new Dacrylate silver paint trialled on WG789.<\/p>\n<p>Just over the way, Barry spent most of the day washing\/stripping the port side of Canberra WH840 of paint (see pic), as evidenced by the number of flakes on the ground by the end of the day (apologies Ground Force!). By close of play, about half of the port upper surfaces had been cleaned, with most of the paint loss coming from the lower fuselage sections. To be continued.<\/p>\n<p>In between washing\/stripping WH840, Barry took half an hour out to gently wash Canberra XM279 (\u2018Sharky\u2019) by hand, to ensure no further paint loss from the rather delicate \u2018camo\u2019 paint scheme.<\/p>\n<p>Back down in the front paddock, the Two Ronnies rounded off the day by giving the T33 a double dose of Karcher action, before packing away all of their O\u2019s.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Barry<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Photos_Painters_Update_240226\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #008000;\">(Photos) Painters Update 24\/02\/26<\/span><span
