Otherton 11-02-2012

This is another place that we've been meaning to get to for a while & things just worked out nicely for us to get there. When we arrived we were told to sign in on the visitors book & then ask for a club member to escort us around the airfield (wearing hi-vis), walking around & talking to pilots there seems to be a real positive attitude about the airfield following a recent re-structure of the club.

Midland Aviation Museum 11-02-2012

This is a museum that we've been meaning to get around for a little while now & things fell into place nicely this weekend to do so! While not the biggest museum this is duly reflected in the admission cost & it represents very good value for money. Getting to sit in the Vulcan was fantastic as well!
