After a 10 year restoration programme our Wellington aircraft has now moved from the Sir Michael Beetham Conservation Centre back onto public display into the War in the Air Hangar at our Midlands site.
Our team of technicians and conservators will be spending the next couple of weeks attaching the huge 31ft outer wings, engines, propellers and front turret to the aircraft.
Members of the public will be able to view some of the final steps towards its completion as the Museum’s Conservation team work within the hangar, in time for the opening of our new Bomber Command exhibition on 16 May.
