Newark's Ayro Ashton cockpit project revealed to visitors

摘要

Visitors to Newark Air Museum on November 19 were among the first to view the interior of its Avro Ashton restoration project. The fuselage of Ashton WB491, which is listed as 'Significant' on the National Aviation Heritage Register, was recovered from Woodford, Greater Manchester, and donated to the Nottinghamshire museum in March 2003. Over the past few months a team of volunteers led by restoration manager John Rankin has been rebuilding and refitting the aircraft's cockpit area.
