Welcome to this special Fathers Day edition of our monthly newsletter.
This month we have Fathers Day (20th) and Armed Forces Day (27th) to look
forward to. With so many museums across the UK holding special WW2 commemorative events,
there's plenty to choose from for Fathers Day days out including chances to meet veterans and
see exhibitions from the war. Once in a lifetime opportunities to talk to famous
mosquito veterans at The de Havilland Museum and
to take a taxy ride in a WW2 Lancaster bomber. |
