A short drive then saw us at.....

INVERNESS MUSEUM

Easlily found (its in the airport complex !)
I don't want to do these guys down by saying you can see everything from outside, but you can see virtually everything.
Time constraints prevented us going around this time but having done it in the past I can recommend spending some time here as the owners come across as very enthusiastic.
To the nipper (and the slightly older enthusiast !) it was brilliant to be able to sit in cockpits and get up close to the Aircraft, everything looked well looked after......
