The aircraft is suspended above the area where people wait to greet arrivals , this area is open to the public . The engine is in a display cabinet in a corridor , above the departure lounge , which leads to the viewing lounge . On my last visit to the airport I was looking up at the aircraft and an old guy who assists passengers told me his father had been employed , at the time of her flight , as the grass mower at the airport . On the day she flew in , this guy who was then just a small boy , had ridden out to the airport , riding on his fathers handle bars . I asked him what it had been like that day , he told me he had not enjoyed it at all as it was on unmade roads in those days and he ended up with a very sore backside !
