The Wight Aviation Museum team welcomed the well-known and highly respected aircraft preservation guru, avid historian, renowned author and magazine editor Ken Ellis last weekend.
Ken is the former long standing editor of the well known “Flypast” magazine; he is also the author of the bi-annual Wrecks and Relics – first published in 1961 and now in its 28th edition – regarded by aviation enthusiasts and the aircraft preservation community as its “bible.”
Mr Ellis’ visit was arranged so that he could update his entry in the forthcoming edition of Wrecks and Relics. He was shown around the museum by members of the WAM Team and was very impressed with what the WAM Team have achieved in just a few years.
Ken said:
“I am very pleased to see the Wight Aviation Museum is developing so well, not only preserving and displaying artefacts and exhibits from the very rich Isle of Wight aviation heritage but also its focus on the stories of the people from the island involved in that history.”
Helen Blake, chairperson of WAM enthused:
“It’s really encouraging for the WAM Team to get visitors like Ken and from that much wider appreciation of what we have achieved.”
