Berkshire's dynamic contribution to
aviation history is graphically re-captured at the museum. Run as
a charitable trust, the museum is at the historic site of Woodley
Airfield, near Reading, U.K. - once the centre of a thriving
aircraft industry. Miles and Handley Page aircraft built at
Woodley are being re-constructed and exhibited along with
fascinating pictorial records and priceless archives.
The museum
welcomes group visits and runs an active educational programme for
schools, linked to National Curriculum requirements, demonstrating
the development of aviation techniques. Schools and other groups
can be catered for outside normal opening hours, phone 0118 944
8089 for details.
