A new exhibition area dedicated to Britain's World War One air services was opened at RAF Museum Cosford on January 15. The new display, opened by Brendan Connor, Deputy Chairman of the RAF Museum Trustees, has been made possible through a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund with support from BAE Systems. The centrepiece of First World War In The Air is three famous Great War aircraft - the Sopwith Pup, Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter and the Bristol M1c, the latter pair being full scale reproductions. Displayed alongside the aircraft are personal items that belonged to 2nd Lt Kevin Robert Furniss of the Royal Flying Corps, who lived only a few miles from Cosford in Wolverhampton. Including letters, a flying helmet and a wash kit, the items were donated to the museum in 2013 by Kevin's great niece.
