Where is the Dumfries & Galloway Aviation Museum?
The most famous exhibition on display at the museum is the Loch Doon Spitfire. Visitors can find out about the Supermarine Spitfire, which was an MKIIa aircraft built at Castle Bromwich in Birmingham for the Battle of Britain. The plane was lost in a training accident in Loch Doon, East Ayrshire, in October 1941.
The museum also hosts a variety of different events throughout the year for visitors to enjoy. Unfortunately due to the current Covid-19 outbreak, the museum has had to suspend its events programme until further notice. However, the museum looks forward to being given the go-ahead to open up its events again.
