Weston Helicopter Museum (Early days)
Posted: Sat Dec 07, 2024 4:24 pm
Pictures taken in 1989, at Weston International Helicopter Museum, Somerset.
(It opened on present site in 1988).
It’s origin goes back to 1958 when Elfan ap Rees started a small collection.
A visit today would see a greatly expanded collection, many rare/unusual types. Well worth a visit.
