Sorry about that Mike, it would have been nice for you to see the Monospar progress; the tail was lowered back onto the ground on Tuesday & the wings folded - will be emailing photos off to the magazines once we've got all of the revised opening arrangements in place.

Thanks to those people who visited us today on Day 1 of opening under Tier 3 Regulations across Nottinghamshire i.e. access to external exhibits only at a reduced admission fee.

A special thanks also goes out to the visitors for being so polite & understanding at this challenging time, something that's not always the case!

We plan to continue in this manner until the new lockdown on Thursday.
