The attractive Memorial Gardens have been awarded the Yorkshire in Bloom Silver Gilt certificate for the past three years. See Yorkshire's pioneering Cayley Glider along with the Wright Flyer, unique Halifax Bomber and Mosquito Nightfighter and modern jets such as the Harrier GR3 and Tornado GR4 and of course the fantastic ‘Harrier Experience’ Flight Simulator!

The new ‘Pioneers of Aviation’ exhibition opened in Spring 2010 featuring the work of famous figures from the aviation world that have a Yorkshire connection, including Sir George Cayley, Robert Blackburn, Amy Johnson and Barnes Wallis.
