PLEASE NOTE UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS ANYONE ALLOWED TO CLIMB THE STAIRS OR STRUCTURE TO RETRIEVE MODELS.How to get there: 3 miles South of Bedford, on the A600, the 2 giant hangers can be seen. For newcomers, arrive at 9.30-10.00 a.m. Drive down between the 2 hangers, and turn left at the end. Turn left again, and halfway down the side of the hanger, is a small door, and a larger sliding door. You can bring your own car into the hanger. The large sliding door, will be shut at approx 11.00 a.m, and not opened again, until approx 6. p.m, to ensure stable air. The small door stays open but it must be shut behind you. The “loos” are primitive but working.
