How many people still visit aircraft and other war transport in museums? Dick Winters and his Band of Brothers jumped out of perfectly serviceable aircraft and you can still see those displayed today. Find out how often we visit in the National Opinion Poll coming soon.
The good citizens of Verona really know how to roll the good things in life together and make a proper "gara" of it. Sadly the National Opinion Poll on public interest in heritage transport - to be published soon - did not expressly capture that precise demographic.
