Visit to RAF Museum Midlands at Cosford & the Wellington Bomber Restoration
The Master Paul Nash and Consort Sue invite you to join them on a special visit to the award winning RAF Museum Midlands at Cosford, for a highlight tour around the historical exhibits and an exclusive behind the scenes visit to the conservation hangar, not open to the public.
Here you can see how they re-build, preserve and maintain the exhibits. The museum has just finished re-building an iconic WWII Wellington bomber, the most complete and only one of two still in existence.
There is a wide variety of aircraft and other exhibits on display too.
