About this museum
RAF Burtonwood was the biggest airbase in Europe — the US 'Home from Home' depot that fixed the Eighth's aircraft; its heritage centre (free, in Gulliver's World car park, gloriously) covers the story including the segregation history most museums skip.
Listed inventory: 1 airframe.
Afternoons from 2:30, not every day; cash for donations.
