The Yorkshire Air Museum & Allied Air Forces Memorial is a large aircraft museum on the
Elvington WWII airfield near York. It has lots of exhibits and regularly has Thunder Days
when some aircraft are powered up.
Mooch had a quick visit and then Monty took granddad Bob on a Thunder Day. There are
a lot of exhibits both outside and within the hangars & other buildings.   (23-Apr-2014 / 03-Aug-2015)
There is usually quite a crowd on Thunder Days.
