More Space Urgently needed!!
The problem with Aircraft is they take up a lot of space!
As we draw close to closing for the Winter, we start to consider our displays for 2027.
We are also now looking for space for Sale or Rent off the Airport site to act as our restoration centre - as sadly we have no more space available on the Airport.
You can still visit the Hangar on Saturday and Tuesday in October and Saturday afternoon only in November - please purchase your tickets in advance via our website
If you are aware of any commercial premises available in Blackpool South or Lytham St Annes, please let us know.

Planning a Visit in November? Please remember that Saturday afternoon sessions in November will be "advance ticket sales only". These sessions will run 13:00 - 16:00 only and will fit in with the switch on of the Blackpool Illuminations - so you can bring the family to see the Spitfires and then travel down the Golden Mile to view the Blackpool Illuminations.
