Yorkshire Air Museum




Yorkshire Air Museum

After visiting the National Railway Museum we headed to the Yorkshire Air Museum in Elvington, York to spend the remainder of the day before travelling back home. The museum had a huge variety of exhibits to visit including Airborne Forces Display, Uniform Display, Air Gunners Display, Archives & Reference Library, Museum Shop, Chapel, Memorial Garden and museum Headquarters.

With the photographs for my book the priority we started in the main display hall that was home to a mainly World War II Aircraft, helicopters and vehicles including a Luftwaffe Messerschmitt. As we were leaving the hall a professional photographer, staff and a model in period costume arrived to use some of the aircraft as the backdrop of his photo shoot. 

Outside the main hall a number of more modern fighter jets were on display and provided a great variety to the propeller aircraft. With time against us before they closed we briskly walked around the remaining hangars and displays. Again this is another great museum with a great variety of interesting exhibits that I would recommend you visit. Below are some of the photographs I took.
