cosford air museum

Really great day out. Kids can see aircraft close up and there is a really interesting cold war display. Well worth a visit.

DS and nephew are both 4 and they loved this. the airplanes are fascinating and the DIY displays were educational and fun (ds loved the pick up plane) all this for free! also v accessable from the train station (and actually a nice walk) with a reasonable gift shop and good cafe (although the one by the station serves the best bacon butties in the world)

a fantastic collection of over 70 aircrafts .
there are special childrens interactive exhibits - which are very hands on.
you can see nuclear bombers and missiles.
one section is dedicated to the cold war and it reflects what life might have been like behind the iron curtain.

all this for free !

there is no entry charge here and with a great cafe/picnic area makes it a MUST see place.
