I have been changing the page I had on my website on he RNZAF Museum. I wanted for some time to make it more vibrant and interesting, and now I am doing so by splitting it into several sections. I have just updated with a new look RNZAF Museum Guide, which will soon have lots of links added to it. Here's the guide homepage www.cambridgeairforce.org.nz/RNZAF%20Museum%20Guide.htmAlready added are two pages you can link to, one on their aircraft and one with old RNZAF Museum News issues to read. The Aircraft page is under construction, I plan to eventually add the history of each aircraft exhibit onto the page. As you'll see some are up already. I also plan to add more photos where I can - and this is a plea for help. Have you got any nice photos of the aircraft that you would mind donating to the page? I don't have photos of every aircraft sadly. Especially some of those now departed would be appreciated. Asfor the RNZAF News page, I have two more editions to add soon, Decemebr 1992 and Summer 1993 (which was by hen called 'Contact'). But those up there will hopefully provide somem really good reading in the meantime. If anyone has copies of other issues not shown or mentioned, scans of them would be greatly appreicated. Get in touch please. If you have any trivia or info on the aircraft or anything that may contribute to the site, please let me know. I may alrady know it and not have it up there yet, but any info is welcoem as it may be new to me. Further ideas, suggestions and criticism is welcome too. Cheers Dave

I cannot remember where I saw it but within the last month, a quite detailed view of the musuem expansion plans. New buildings to house all the aircraft, except for the poor old Andover. Heard any new Dave. Do you know if ex S&S member Dave Nicholson is still there. he was the lighting director

Hi Beagle, the Andover was looking pretty shabby when I was there in April. The paint was oxidising like matt paint does in the weather.
But I'd have thought that when the restoration workshop moves into the new building, then the Andover can be moved into Hangar 2? I hope so.
I'm not sure if Dave Nicholson is still there. The only S&S guys I knew at the Museum over the years were John Harris, Steve Leach and Dennis Gibbons.
The plans for the museum are on the forum here somewhere, I put them up a few months back after photographing them at Wanaka.

Of course Dennis told me that the layout of aircraft on the plan was by no means finalised and they would possibly leave all the Atrium aircraft where they war, so that would free up a bit of room too.
