Out and about 2016
Elvington Air Musium
The journey to this location starts with a bus ride from Leeds to York.
Once in York we walk a short distance to Merchant Gate. This is where we catch a local bus that will take us to the museum, this journey taking about 35 minutes.The driver dropping us off at the gates.
From here it's just a short walk to the admission hut. After paying our entrance fee and given a brief description of what to expect, we are left to explore this nostalgic setting at our own pace.
The general layout is much of what it would have been like in the WW2 era, but now with quite a number of modern additions to its airborne craft.
As we wondered about the old accommodation blocks, you get a feeling of what it would have been like for the personnel who were stationed here. Lots of photos and memorabilia on display along with the various aircraft of that time. The large hanger alone was worth the admission fee.
A great adventure was had by all.
The local bus brought us back to York, some taking a train journey home , others going back to Leeds by bus.
