Last week's trip to York with the family saw us visit the Yorkshire Air Museum
A worthy museum indeed

Quick check: you've got a photo labelled as a Horsa. It's a Waco Hadrian isn't it?

Looked like a great place.
You should try to get to Eden Camp. Great Museum.

A second vote for Eden Camp!

Long time since I've been at the Air Museum but I have fond memories.

There are 100 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who can work from incomplete data

Have fond memories of airshows at Elvington. Swordfish, Mosquito, B25J Mitchell, all flying.
One of the best was a Harrier display near the end of their career; the sky was growing darker and darker with heavy rain clouds - the Harriers did their display, and just as they finished, the skies emptied like a bombing run of rain and the crowd ran from the flightline to the marquees and musuem for shelter!
