Good to see some Ferrymead news. I have tried to visit several times but always missed the open days.
Can anybody suggest when is the best time to go for the aviation side. It would also be good to know what projects they have underway or waiting to be done.

Saturdays are the best days to visit. If you would like a personalised tour through the workshops, drop me a PM and we will arrange a time.
Currently the Sunderland, Harvard, Mossie, Viscount, Hudson, Hughes 300 and Hiller 12 projects are being worked on. The LC47, Pawnee and Airtruk are dormant at this point. Once the chopper boys finish the current two they will start on the FH1100.
