14 November 2011 – 19 November 2011

The Michael Beetham Conservation Centre (MBCC) is one of the finest aircraft conservation centre’s in the world. To enable greater public access and understanding of the centre’s work, it will be opening its doors to visitors for one special week.

Visitors will gain exclusive behind-the-scenes access to aircraft conservation work and have a rare opportunity to view current projects.

Viewing is from 10.15am to 1.00pm and entry is FREE.

The Raven at Much Wenlock just down the road is a nice place to stay

throw in the Wapiti for the RAFM as part of the swop – in addition to any other possible reason for such an exchange – and the thought of a Mk I Hurri, presumably with an operational history for the BBMF, becomes appealing, even if it will take some time to bring the BBMF back up to its complement of 2 Hurris.

Can’t imagine that the adverts bring in that much income, but if they’re that short of money, ads at the top and bottom, but not in between would be a result

Edit: I’ve just downloaded adblock as I use Firefox – and no adverts. Is Adblock working – or have they gone anyway?

I think you’l find it was a case of premature gear retraction…
