We did that the first year, missed it last year and will probably go
again this year.

We joined the "Friends of the Air Force Museum" on our first visit,
and the discounts off the stuff we buy pays for the annual sub's.

Best of all, a lot of the books on sale there are cheaper than in the
UK, like half price!  so add the discount on as well, and it makes a
lot of financial sense.

The Rolls-Royce heritage Trust books are on sale there at a big
discount to the UK prices, probably close to Heritage member's prices.
