Scouts at the Yorkshire Air Museum

The Yorkshire Air Museum

On Saturday the 28th of February, our scout troop visited the Yorkshire Air Museum which is at the site of the former RAF Elvington.

First we were split into groups and were given a paper to complete.  It had questions which we had to find the answers to.  We all ran into different rooms.  I will tell you what my group discovered.  Lucky for us all of our answers were in the pioneer room which included amazing facts about Sir George Cayley, other pioneers, planes and blimps.

Just before we finished our sheet, Andrea came and said that at lunch, all the groups would perform an act on a subject of their choice. We chose the Dambusters! Other choices included: Sir George Caley and Amy Johnstone.

After a few minutes it was lunch time. We all ate our lunches and at the end of lunch we all acted out our performances. Then we were all given another paper to do. Thankfully there was only one question that needed you to go somewhere so everyone just sat on a bench or rock to do this paper. This time the questions were about plane parts.

We then finished the trip with some fun games.

I would highly recommend the Yorkshire Air Museum as you can learn and have fun at the same time.
