The Gliding Heritage Centre 6 May 2018
Today we were fortunate to visit the The Gliding Heritage Centre.

We had visited last year whilst attending the 2017 Popham event and I was surprised at what I found. I was not expecting a second hangar in the process of being built to house more of the heritage exhibits. However the original hangar has all the gliders well packed in, so it is probably a good idea to expand.

A few new exhibits have arrived since last year, especially in the second hangar, so it was pleasing to get around again.
