A bright sunny April day saw our first public Open Day of 2025.

We welcomed our visitors to the main Museum and across at the Hardened Aircraft Shelter to take advantage of the glorious sunny (but cold) conditions.

Thanks go to all our visitors for their interest during the day, and also to our hard-working volunteers whose efforts over the Winter have come to fruition.

If you want to come and give us a visit, check out the Museum Visit Page on the website.

A selection of pictures are shown here.
