New 'Airbase' museum opens
31.05.10
The aviation museum at Coventry Airport reopens this weekend. The new 'Airbase' centre is home to over 30 iconic British aircraft plus classic planes from around the globe. Visitors will be able to look around the vintage aircraft, see them fly and be transported back to the 1950s in a simulation of a transatlantic flight to New York.
Trevor Bailey, managing director of Air Atlantique, which is running the new centre, said: ‘It is a significant weekend for the whole area. This is going to be a major attraction and we are looking to make it a real experience. It goes some way to putting Coventry Airport back on the map.'
The Airbase will open from 10:00 until 18:00 daily except Monday. Entrance is £8 for adults and £4 for children.
