Fairey Gannet XA460 being dismantled

In December Fairey Gannet AS.4, XA460 was dismantled ready for shipment to the Ulster Aviation Society at Long Kesh Airfield in Northern Island where it had been donated as it was more appropriate to that museum (photo Phil Jarvis).

Armstrong Siddeley Cheetah Engine now on display

In December an example of a restored Armstrong Siddeley Cheetah engine was put on display. A museum team headed by volunteer Darren was responsible for the excellent restoration work. Two of these engines powered the Avro Anson aircraft which was built in thousands before and during the second world war.

Sisters Alice and Beth exploring our aircraft cockpits

We visited the museum today and had a great time! We have family in Wolverhampton and often go to RAF Cosford Air Museum and my oldest daughter Alice (4 yrs) loves it there......until now...... her favourite place is now Aeroventure..... we timed it right for open cockpit day and both my girls (including Beth 2 yrs) have had a great morning flying and playing!!!

Thanks very much for a fab visit, everyone was welcoming and extremely kind we have some wonderful photos and being able to get so involved with the exhibits was priceless!

I am sure we will be back - thanks again.
