The venue is centrally located with good transport links and close to the M1, M6, M42, M40 and M69 giving easy access from most areas of the country and there are a number of competitively priced hotels nearby.
The museum houses the Sir Frank Whittle jet heritage centre and displays include an English Electric Lightning and a Tornado GR4. Visitors also have the unique opportunity to visit the crew compartment of Avro Vulcan B2 XL360.
More details to follow, but put the date in your diary and we look forward to seeing as members as possible during the weekend.
