I’d not realised just how cutting edge they’d been, I did wonder if the museum failed with York City council still bearing a grudge: “York was, unfortunately, rather backward at that time and it was some years before an aerodrome came into being for the city.” ;)

Surely this must make the building worthy of saving or at least incorporated into any new development. Many thanks for bringing this to our attention and lets hope it isn’t just bulldozed and forgotten
