Here you'll find exhibits drawn from our personal collection of books, magazines and artefacts from the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s and 1950s.

Most of the museum is dedicated to aviation - flying stories, fascinating aircraft, and photographs, illustrations, magazine covers and more from the Golden Age of flight.

We'll also include other items that inspire us because they are beautiful, quaint, bizarre or funny.
