The final #CockpitFest25 presentation has just taken place - the retiring trophy was presented to Bill O’Sullivan who thought up the original event!
An all time #CockpitFest favourite story happened at the weekend:
Sat – visitor films themselves sitting in #MiG23 & emails friend in Frankfurt, Germany; friend gets on train & head to #CockpitFest25
Sun – friend gets to sit in #MiG23
#Awesome
Amongst the frenetic atmosphere of #CockpitFest25 it wasn’t un-noticed that #NAMrestoration work has started on the repaint of #Lightning #XS417 – give the successful silver application to the #Ashton a painted 56 Sqn scheme beckons!

We'll be adding an update to the website tomorrow with the results from #CockpitFest25 but for anyone who did not attend we can confirm that this was our 25th & final #CockpitFest event – sadly all good things come to an end.
Thanks to everyone who has supported us over the years!
Nice early light at #CockpitFest25 & #Aeroboot
We’ve just added a minor #CockpitFest25 update to the website, advising that the RAF BBMF Spitfire flypast on Saturday has been changed to a #Hurricane & they’re monitoring the wind conditions, which could go out of spec tomorrow!

The mini-heatwave that is developing may limit our ability to open some museum aircraft during the run up to, & during #CockpitFest25 – this is due to unsafe temperatures potentially building-up inside the aircraft.
