St. Athan South Wales Aviation Museum 21 Jan 2023 (John Tomlinson)

A successful visit to this excellent museum.

It seems to have grown since we were last here and I was keen to ensure that I would see what I required.

It was very busy, however I was fortunate to chat to some of the volunteers / Owner and they kindly gave up some of there time to show me around and especially those aircraft which I was looking for.

I needed eleven, however I was happy to enjoy photographing all the exhibits.

Thank you again to the SWAM team……

Regards

John
