    depending on wind direction i recommend standing on top or the sand dunes
    opposite butlins entrance you get a superb view of aircraft movements
    and its inline with the active runway

    on a side note just noticed the antonov an 2 has moved it must have been in the same place for at least two years anyone know whats happening to it ??

    raf millom

    just thought i would post a big thank you.

    first week of the school holidays, and i thought we would visit .
    came up on tuesday 25th and spent a couple of hours looking around.
    i have three lads aged 14 12 & 10 and they really enjoyed the visit
    in fact my youngest a big dr who fan said its like the tardis small on the outside but packed inside i spent most of the time trying to answer questions
    next time though i will bring my toolbox that merlin 1 just inside is crying out
    to have one of the rocker covers removed 😀 it would make explaining valve
    timing so much easier 🙂
    its just a shame the display and restoration hall was closed though !
    i will make the next visit a weekend 🙂

    move

    perhaps you could try kpmg i believe
    there handling emerald airways insolvency
    and there is another shorts at blackpool sat at the end of the runway
    minus its props they were taken off about three months ago
    could be useful for spares recovery as looking at it thats all its
    good for
