Midland Air Museum - Coventry

Photos from Gary Brossett

A small museum, but well maintained by several dedicated volunteers and a small staff. Most of the collection consists of outdoor display aircraft, but there is a nice collection of memorabilia and artifacts in a single building. A section of the museum is the Sir Frank Whittle Heritage Center with a W2-700 display. Some images of the W2-700 appear in the Farnborough image collection.
