Bournemouth Aviation Museum

Post by Pringle »

Was flying an IF trip today over Bournemouth and was very surprised to see the amount of fantastic looking aircraft at the aerodrome itself. Just wondered if the place was in good nick and are you able to properly get around the aircraft?

Hi Tom, the museum is a nice little set up, run by volenteers and well worth a visit. Most of the aircraft are in reasonable condition and you can usually get inside the cockpit sections. The flying stuff is in the hangar and can be seen behind a rope barrier.....or could be the last time I was there a couple of years ago.
