Had the chance to call into this little museum whilst en-route to friends in Up State New York last weekend. The museum is similiar in concept to the Shuttleworth Collection at Old Warden but is in need of a very substantial cash injection as the exhibits are housed in very poor conditions with only one hangar being anywhere near water tight with all of the others being open to the elements or in poor repair.
During the summer months the museum have flying weekend when they get as many of the flying exhibits up. Unfortunately for me last weekend also coincided with a typical English summers day with heavy rain hitting the airfield an hour before the flying was due to start, just my luck. However before the rain hit and my daughter lost interest the following were noted
N12156 Albatros D VA (Replica) (17-D-7517) grahamcevans.piwigo.com/picture?/15166

N3529 de Havilland Tiger Moth DH.82A (86556) - tucked up in a hangar on the far side.

N4720G Thomas Pusher Model E (2)
N74W Thomas-Morse S-4B Scout (4328)
N38933 Voisin VIII (Replica) (1)
Will definitely be going back to the museum though without daughter in tow and hopefully the weather will be more favourable for flying as I'd love to see the Bleriot XI flying and I might even treat myself to a flight in the New Standard D-25 that they were offering.
