Newark Air Museum Visit
Following in the footsteps of the RAF I decided it was time to visit the Newark Air Museum which is situated just of the A17. screenshot not currently working guys so I hope the google map link below works.
Above is the current cost of entry per adult.
Once you enter the museum you can’t but be in ore of the magnificent Vulcan Bomber which you can walk around and under, a truly awesome aircraft.
then to the right there is a small rounded roof building which contains a selection of jet engines
coming back out and turning left I spotted these two characters nestling between a couple of buildings
Then we entered the building to right that you see in the picture above, this is a great building for anyone who in interested in communication, its packed with all manner of devices and for a small donation of £2 you can sit in a cockpit and have a guy talk you through some of the basics..
We only spent about three hours at this museum due to time constrains but it really needs a good day to maybe do it full justice, they also have some great events throughout the year which I think I will return for, anyway check their website for more details on this: http://www.newarkairmuseum.org/
You will find aircraft both inside and out here, the hangers are jam packed with some unusual aircraft as well as some old favourites here is a selection of pictures:
There is actually over seventy (70) aircraft for you to ponder over as well as some other great exhibits to look at, again here is a selection below:
All in all I have to say this museum is a great place to visit, allow yourself plenty of time to get round, as you walk about you may bump into the odd person that works at the museum that will be happy to chat to you, I will of course upload all my pictures to the photo gallery page in the not so distant future so keep an eye out for that.
Happy travelling guys……

Development Editing
So I have just received the development edit review back from the editors on my first novel:
Shock and horror, need to learn new skills, (Show don’t tell) which is great as this is my first attempt at writing so its bound to be a constant stream of learning.
Here is extracts of some of their comments:
“The essential premise of Blue Ring Assassins is fantastic, prostitutes undermining the Nazi regime by spying on them. The wartime setting has huge potential and you’ve created a phenomenal cast of characters, established fantastic atmospheric scenes throughout”.
“show don’t tell scenes, your readers need to connect with your characters”
The report is ten pages long and I have some rewriting to do over the next few weeks, but one thing I can’t help constantly thinking about is “isn’t this just one person’s point of view”?
Yes, as a writer we have to go through a process which we all have to pay someone to do at the early stages of developing as a writer but its our story isn’t? The suggestions the editor places in their review is just that, suggestions, a point of view, YES?
Do make changes as per their suggestions or do we stick to our guns as the author and keep our basic story line without their recommended changes?
As a novice to the world of writing it is far to easy to simply follow these experts and then lose the essence of our story, so I have decided to take a step back, for a day or so and then return back to their report and take another look at what they are suggesting.
Such as:
Telling the story from a different aspect and not keeping with my original basis for the story line.
Removing certain scenes.
Not to be to explicit with violent and sexual scenes.
Just to mention a few, but this book is about WWII Nazi’s, some of the most brutal people in history, there should be violence, just as there should be sexual scenes as we are dealing with prostitutes.
Its all a process with constant hurdles to overcome, several things are certain though, its not easy, its time consuming and its costly.
what are your thoughts on professional editing services?
