    Cosford Air museum is a great afternoon or morning visit. Lots of planes to see. The aircraft simulator is definitely worth a go! If you are lucky to get one of the team , we got Peter who told us all about Jolly Green helicopter! It makes it even better. Shop a little lacking in imagination, could have been filled with more interesting things for boys, like wooden airplanes to make , Lego airplanes, airplanes paint by numbers etc not just cuddle toys Nether the less a great place to go
