Yep, looking forward to visiting again when the lockdown eases.
Nice I've been there twice I like it there it's filled up with some helicopters and they have moved the jets around
I haven't been back since the reopening. I have to go there again as it was great little place.
Fantastic - thanks
Thanks, glad you enjoyed.
Aw, see it has only just opened, as my brother lives in South Wales and is really interested in stuff like this and never mentioned it before. It did look a real interesting place to visit, so I will send him the link to this, cheers Alan
Yes, it only opened Easter time. They are continuing to add new exhibits and restore planes. At the moment it's only open on weekends.
It looks really good! I'm going to have to book a day off to see that!
Well worth a visit.
St Athan is ehere the RAF serviced their jets and refitted tgem. They have a lot of stuff that moved from Bruntingthorpe. The big jet engine is an RB211 which my dad was foreman of the parts store for at Rolls Royce
They used to have an open day there back in the 70s, my dad use to take me.
