Montrose airfield was the first operational airfield in the UK of which more in another post. Flying had ceased by 1952 and some 40 years later it reopened as a Heritage Centre which has gone on to win many awards. Based around some original buildings the centre tells the story of the airfield and holds a few airframes, some of which are replicas and only recently took delivery of a Tornado which is displayed in an original hangar.
The centre is fairly small but staff are friendly, the exhibits interesting, including a poppy memorial area to which we contributed, and it is worth visiting.

Looks like a really nice setup that I could lose half a day at. Thanks for sharing Pater 👍😎. Marcus
ReplyDeleteYes certainly worth a visit Marcus. I was there on my birthday, the first place that gave me a price concession for being 60!
