The Yorkshire Air Museum is on the site once occupied by RAF Elvington.

Originally founded in the early 1980's it opened fully to the public in May 1986. Staffed entirely by volunteers who have put on an amazing display that takes you right back in time to a World War 2 bomber command base.

So whether you want to get up close and personal with a Spitfire, peer through the jet engine of a BAC Lightning, marvel at sheer scale of the Halifax bomber, or simply sit down for a cup of tea and bite to eat at the NAAFI, Yorkshire Air Museum has it all.

Music in this episode is provided by Ian Babington, Caren Kennedy and Ron Arnold.
