Title: not exactly an event Post by: renegade53 on January 03, 2011, 01:50:23 PM popped along to this little aircraft museum out woodley way near reading yesterday. some interesting stuff there but a bit cold. i enjoyed looking at the models that were on display. i can appreciate the work that goes into these. it was interesting reading about the history of the area during ww2. very cheap to visit only £3.50 for adults.
we're gonna organise a triumph cruise out to it about march for the register and tssc members. Title: Re: not exactly an event Post by: renegade53 on January 03, 2011, 01:51:28 PM panaramic view from the entrance door

Title: Re: not exactly an event Post by: BikerGran on January 03, 2011, 03:35:42 PM I went there once as it was a 'Round Britain Rally' landmark - I have no particular interest in planes but I thought it was interesting - once I found it, that is!

When I left school in '78 I served a 4 year apprenticeship as a printer at Huntley, Boorne & Stevens, a biscuit tin & aerosol printing company. The factory was on the old Woodley aerodrome site, just outside Reading, Berkshire.
