Aviation Archaeology Seminar - 2014

Plans are underway for an aviation archaeology seminar later this year, hopefully at a London location, and probably to be held either during June or October. I am involved with Conflict Archaeologist Andy Brockman with the planning and organisation of this event.

The seminar will involve speakers from the 'established' conflict archaeology sector as well as the 'amateur' sector. It is intended that MOD/JCCC will also take part, along with other national bodies, museums and organisations.

There has recently been an acceptance by many of those involved in aviation archaeology, both from the enthusiast position as well as that of the formal conflict archaeologists, that much is to be gained from working together more closely, sharing skills, data and enthusiasm for this exciting and fast changing field. Indeed, there have already been good examples of such work. This seminar looks to strengthen and foster such ties, as well as to look, generally, at the much wider picture of aviation archaeology in the 21st Century and at its place in formal Conflict Archaeology.

This is just advance notice to hopefully create interest and whet appetites for those interested in this area of work. It has certainly been the case that the Dornier 17, Saharan P40 and (dare I mention it?) the Burma Spitfire project have all raised the profile and public awareness of aviation archaeology. TV and the news media have also shown a considerable and increasing interest in topics related to aviation archaeology over the past couple of years and this, nationally, will be the first major seminar of its kind to be held.

Full details will be posted here as and when they become available, but at this stage no further information such as dates or venue can be confirmed. The detail of the seminar content, speakers etc will also be posted here once confirmed.

NB - was a little uncertain where on the forum to place this, but doubtless a Moderator will re-locate if inappropriate in this category? However, the hoped for inclusion of the Goodwins Dornier 17 perhaps makes this as appropriate a place as any?
