Thanks Quickie.

Veteran Visitor

Image

The workshops recently rolled out the red carpet for not 1 but 3 veterans who'd paid a visit to inspect progress of the painstaking refurbishment work being carried out on the Tomahawk helicopter.

Image

Currently in storage, at our Loft storage facility, it's hoped that the funds can be raised which will eventually enable the Tomahawk to become centerpiece of a much enlarged G.I.Joe hall.

The workshop staff have been kept busy prepping the Mk1 Armadillo for tank rides around the museum grounds

We are delighted to announce that our new car park ticket booth is up & running!
