Bruntingthorpe Aviation Museum 11-11-2012

After spending the early afternoon at Leicester we made the short journey to Bruntingthorpe to have a look round the museum there.

Access to the museum is only available on Sundays between 10:00 & 16:00 due to other activities on the airfield, entrance is £5 per head which is paid to the gatehouse which you must pass to get in. Once you've paid you will be given some instructions on how to reach the museum, I understand these change according to what other events are taking place on the airfield so do listen carefully or you may find yourself getting lost! Once at the museum we were greeted by a volunteer who handed us a pack with information about the aircraft & leave you to it! Photos of all aircraft is allowed & you can walk over to the Beech restoration hangar but make sure to ask if you can go to where the Comet & Nimrod are parked as there may be other users of the airfield active which prevent this (as was the case when we visited).
