A wonderful little museum and a most handsome gentleman who runs it. I’ve spent some time in there last week and I am still very impressed. The garden is full of wellington memrablia. Truly worth a visit.

It is with sadness that I have to inform you this museum closed earlier this year. All exhibits have been transferred to the Stratford Armouries Museum. See http://www.thisisgloucestershire.co.uk/news/Final-flight-famous-Cotswolds-aviation-museum/article-3098851-detail/article.html for more details.
