Aero-Linx!
Scouring the information super airways can sometimes be a tough,
if educational, task for the Aero-News staff... but it also allows
us to check out some truly neat and exciting sites, so it's not
that bad a gig. On any given day, we may check dozens (and often
hundreds) of different sources for story ideas, and facts
confirmation. And, as is the nature of our business, much of this
is done on the Internet.
The ANN gang decided we probably shouldn't keep some of the neat
sites, info resources, and organizations we've discovered to
ourselves... so we decided to bring you Aero-Linx. These are the
sites that WE check out -- when we need added perspective, a new
spin on a day's topic... or just want to escape into
cyber-aero-space for awhile.
Look for some of our favorite sites, coming each day to ANN via
Aero-Linx.
Suggestions for future Aero-Linx segments are always
welcome, as well.
Aero-Linx: The Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museum
The Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museum is recognized as East
Anglia's Aviation Heritage Centre. Maintained and run by
volunteers, with one paid staff member, the Museum celebrated its
35th Anniversary in 2007. Constituting an impressive
collection of aircraft and equipment, the Museum also
displays in separate buildings themed collections for the Royal
Observer Corps No. 6 Group, the 446th (H) Bomb Group USAAF, RAF
Bomber Command, RAF Air-Sea Rescue & Coastal Command, and local
aviation through the years. There are also numerous
exhibitions on special subjects including WWII Decoy Crews, Boulton
& Paul, RAF training aids, aerial photography, and the Home
Front.
