Their diverse collection of aircraft and cockpit sections covers the history of aviation, the aircraft on display include 10 National Benchmark aircraft; 29 Significant aircraft and 18 Noteworthy aircraft as listed in the National Aviation Heritage Register. Nearly two thirds of the exhibits are now displayed inside. The first airframe was secured in 1963, The Museum relocated to its present leased site on the eastern side of Winthorpe Showground during the winter of 1977 / 78 and started the long process of re-establishing its collection. At Easter 1990 the Museum opened its first Aircraft Display Hall to the public and it provided 1,860 square metres of under cover aircraft display space, and currently houses 28 of the Museum’s aircraft and cockpits. In 1994 the trustees started negotiations to purchase farmland on the museum’s southern boundary with the aim of guaranteeing the Museum’s long-term future. Formal searches and formalities were eventually completed, allowing the purchase of 5.01 hectares of farmland to be completed prior to Christmas 1995. In 2004 the Museum completed the construction of a second Aircraft Display Hall, which now houses 14 aircraft and cockpits. Occupying 2,400 square metres the new building was completed thanks to a grant of £453,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund, and the fund raising efforts and donations from the members and visitors.

It featured some 3,500 vehicles along with 1,000 stalls, many hundreds of living history re-enactors, a massive events arena with spectacular battle re enactments and many more attractions for young and old. Once again last year the EMLRA attended the show and I can truly say that the sights there had to be seen to be believed. With military vehicles stretching across three large fields as far as the eye could see, there was something of interest for everyone, and far more than a report such as this can ever do justice. So for 2008 come and see for your self. 18th - 19th - 20th JULY

The EMLRA Display is always well attended and the Traditional Bar-B-Q is not to be missed. You can come for the whole time or just as a day visitor. Billing is the Mecca for the member who enjoys all forms of Land-Rovers and not just the Matt Green ones. Its a great fun family show with the Land-Rover as the star of the show the Military content is quite small with us and the 101 club flying the MOD flag, you will find a few stalls such as Ancore surplus but most are a living example of what’s in a LRM magazine, if you love Land-Rovers then don’t miss this show. Read the write up for last years event and get a taste of things to come. 26th JULY
