I went there on Saturday... they have got so many lovely lovely aircraft there... Bristol 188, Hawker Hind (sans crappy beige bombs), Avro Vulcan, Handley-Paige Victor (this one was outside, in primer, and covers in the intakes... flying???), Spit I, Hurri IIC, TSR2 and loads more that are very special spread over 3 hangars... they have an engine unit from a Heinkel 177 - 2 inverted V12's, geared onto a common prop shaft, with each engine boasting a turbo charger the size of your head.... and the nose section of a Vulcan, that you can go inside
see where the pilots and crew sat

There's also a kiddie's section with lots of hands-on experiments, explaining the rudiments of flight, lift and how wings work and stuff
Best bit of all is, admission is FREE... well worth a trip up to Shropshire for![]()

Such a plane. Can I recommend Sky Warriors by Alfred Price for the full story of the Falklands Bombs run, its amazing UK to Falklands to bomb a runway
There are 2 Sky Warriors and Sky Battles and they cover from ww1 to jet combat in falklands including 1st hand accounts from the harrier pilots as well as the Vulcan story. Might take a week to scource
