A morning out to visit The Aeroplane Collection and local trust that we had not been to for a number of years.

Since our last visit, it had been upgraded with, I understand, some government grants/funds and was very well organised, with plenty of space between exhibits.
Well worth the £5 entry fee and the volunteers are excellent, all wanting to talk and discuss the various projects with you.
