Goodly morning all... Smiley

Not sure if this site was posted before or not.

I believe the worlds only completely restored Handley Page Halifax Bomber from World War Two is inside along with many many exhibits far too many too mention.  The aircraft is far too valuable to fly but several others have now been found and I believe are under restoration.

Wait and the aircraft pictures will change...these are just some of the aircraft in the open airpark and many of us would love to see them under roof.

Enjoy...the museum is free...you can leave a donation if you wish... Wink

Some pretty nice planes there, thanks for the link. Sad tho, that they have to sit outside and be subject to the weather.

Thanks Rick and you are absolutely right about the aircraft having to sit outside in all kinds of weather.   Lips Sealed

The museum is working on several othe aircraft right now including an Avro Anson and they are also trying to bring home a Canadian  CC106 Yukon.
