Doncaster AeroVenture

Had a nip to Doncaster AeroVenture this afternoon. Small but friendly museum, took a few shots today. For the modellers there is a well stocked and varied section, decent prices.

You met Naddy at Coningsby back in May when we were on the mound....

She spends some time at The Aero Park

The one doing the Eric Morecambe impression
