It must be fate keeping us away, but for the past three years I have been wanting to take Grandson Finn, and any of the Granddaughters who were interested, to see the Solway Aircraft Museum At Carlisle Airport. This was it, 2020 was the year it was Going To Happen. But alas! The museum has just announced that it is giving in to the inevitable and remaining closed for the whole year. Ah well, so be it, and now 2021 is the year it is Going To Happen. We'll see in 12 months time how we get on, but meanwhile here are some aircraft museum pictures to keep the thought in our minds.
