What’s Here

MAPS specialises in restoring aircraft to ‘better than new’ condition for the Royal Air Force Museum at Hendon. They recently finished work on Spitfire I K9942 and handed it over to Hendon. The workshops are open to visitors at certain times of the week. Due to the nature of MAPS work, the aircraft that can be seen here varies considerably over time.
