Avro Heritage Museum, Woodford Aerodrome, Stockport, Cheshire, 2019 |
| A small but perfectly formed place, the building is new, bright, and equipped with a full range of excellent facilities. Dedicated to the history of Avro and Woodford Aerodrome, a very useful timeline of aircraft production here adorns three walls.
There's a cafe and a shop, and there are plans for expansion, and lots of activities, including cockpit visits (at extra cost). The airfield is being turned into a housing estate, so check their website for access instructions. Well worth a visit - we went on 21 September. |
