Thanks very much for a great visit on saturday. My kids loved it especially my eldest boy seeing the engine parts. I bought one of your model planes and a small car which you can see in the pic. Thanks again.
I wrote an article about my visit to Montrose Air Station last month and it has been published, with lots of photo's, in the members magazine of the Ulster Aviation Society 😊(www.www.ulsteraviationsociety.org)
Superb place. Went there today. Well worth a visit
I had a superb visit on Saturday 22nd May. I'm a member of the Ulster Aviation Society (www.ulsteraviationsociety.org) which is a very similar organisation and I thought Montrose Air Station was fantastic.
Excellent and very informative displays, knowledgeable and very friendly volunteers (lets hear it for volunteers!!), a great wee gift shop and an easy place to find. I will definitely be back.
And if anyone is visiting Northern Ireland, enquire about a tour of the UAS facility. Tally Ho! :)
I would just like to say a big thank you, to Michael Brewis for his assistance in putting me in touch with Carol Sanders, the lady who had the foresight to put her plan in action for the beautiful poppy wall in the Robertson Building . We down south at the new RAF Hornchurch Heritage Centre
https://www.facebook.com/hornchurchaerodrome are planning on having a Remembrance room poppy wall, although on a much smaller scale to that of Montrose, due to the space we have available.
I have included a photograph taken back in 2019 when one of our Trustees John Donovan made a visit to the centre and placed a poppy on the board for Wing Commander Brendan Eamonn Fergus Finucane, DSO, DFC & Two Bars, he was known as 'Paddy' Finucane amongst his fellow RAF colleagues.
The connection between Hornchurch and Montrose is as an acting Pilot Officer (on probation) Brendan was sent to No.8 Flying Training School at RAF Montrose in 1938, before being posted to No.65 Squadron at RAF Hornchurch on 12th July 1940.
We are also lucky enough to have two of Brendan's uniforms that have never been seen together before, as well as his log books and medals, as well as much more from the Finucane family archives which are on permanent loan to us.
