I wonder if they could accommodate a newly retired VC10? 😮

Would be nice to see Phantom FGR.2 XV470 moved from the dump, restored and put on display outside the museum!!

I was surprised about the information they displayed about ‘the local aircraft’! 😉

A topic that I also know has been discussed about these parts in the past!

And I doubt if it has the REAL reasonings behind the U-2 prang in 1977.

Not open to the general public then?

If you make contact in advance they’re very helpful in arranging a visit! 🙂
