Barry and Ivor hard at workSeptember News - Museum Opening Date Fixed 

The Society's committee is pleased to announce that the museum will finally open on Saturday the 11th November at 11:00am, by Tony Brown MHK Transport Minister. Proceedings will actually start at 10:30am. We are hoping for a staggered opening, firstly for members and guests, secondly for sponsors later on in the day, and finally for members of the general public. Further information will be posted on this site when it is available. 

Other news to report on the museum this month:-

The display cases are mostly complete and painted. When they are finished a big clean up will be required before items for display can be brought down to the museum.
The airport authorities have improved the fence around the site with a plastic coated mesh.
Work on improving the car park inside the site has begun by clearing away rubbish, plants, weeds, broken tarmac and old cement etc., and replacing them with new cement work.
There are still some railings to paint and fix to the car park.
At the committee meeting at the start of October members were asked to list items of their collections and decide what they would like to put on display. It was decided that there is so much to display that there will have to be a rotation system devised. The first items to be displayed must have a Manx connection/story. Landmark events, for example the 60th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, will be commemorated via displays at the appropriate times.
