It has only been 12 months since my last visit to this Museum but a sunny morning and passing close by on the way to Bristol, This Museum is a must visit.The Vulcan B2 looks smart in it’s new coat of paint and great progress has been made on the Air Inter Vickers Viscount.The Bristow marked Whirlwind 3 had also been repainted since my last visit.
I arrived at about 10am and was first in so I had the run of the place with nobody else in my pictures.Space like any other Museum is at a premium so most of the aircraft are displayed outside, As usual I have added a Pictorial list of what i was able to shoot on the day.
