great war flying museum

As we watched a couple of World War I planes fly past the museum hangar, I couldn’t help but remember the song from the old movie, Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines. The guys fixing the planes in the workshop like to talk about their machines and the artifacts in the replica of a front line hut are fascinating. But the highlight was seeing a Sopwith bi-plane chasing the Red Baron’s tri-plane across the sky. A modest fee for entry, but one has to become a member if you want a ride. It’s all run by hard working volunteers and well worth a visit, especially as we commemorate the anniversary of the Great War.

Visited the museum recently and enjoyed the replica planes from WW1. Really great to see history preserved. Great place to visit.

I really enjoyed the Great War Flying Museum, amazing to imagine yourself in these flying machines back in the early 1900's. My grand father was wounded in one in Belgium, 1917.

We always enjoyed taking sons there when they were young. They loved seeing the old planes and their Dad answering questions on the vintage planes.
