The Heritage Centre
The Heritage centre was opened in 2016 and contains aircraft artefacts, models, uniforms. Dioramas and individual pilot’s stories.
Interactive displays tell the story of each of the airfields including the aircraft and the units that operated from them. This is accomplished by using layouts of the airfield then and now ,charts, photos and videos. Just tap on the Airfield name on the screen to see all this.
We also have Computer Generated Imagery which allows you to see what some the airfields were like when operating during WW2.
An upstairs gallery contains many limited edition prints depicting the aircraft that flew from the airfields. Many of these prints are signed by the pilots who flew them.
We also have a preloved book section with books and magazines for sale at bargain prices.
Our children’s quiz has proved very popular, especially as there is a prize at the end if all is correct.
Finally but perhaps most important of all “Mee Mee’s tearoom is open to all even if you do not wish to view the centre. We normally have a Homemade cake, cold drinks, filled rolls snacks as well as the usual tea and coffee.
