点评:A very very special collection of mostly flyable aircraft from World War II as well as stunning reproductions of World War I aircraft.
The Goxhill Control Tower has been painstakingly dissembled brick by brick and reconstructed with fresh bricks and glass from original factories in the UK. This historical tower was the first to be used by 9th AF and saved from destruction.
Likewise, a German WWll expeditionary hangar was saved and brought to life again to house the German aircraft on display.
An authentic Great War hangar was constructed to house the corresponding vintage aircraft representing that era.
The main hangars are spotless recreations of WWll hangars and are devoted to a Naval heritage hangar and an Allied hangar with rare Soviet, British and US aircraft.
There are routine special events that include flights by the various aircraft in the collection maintained by the very well regarded Fighter Factory artisans who work out of a secluded hangar off limits to the public.
A very special collection kept vibrant with scores of volunteers as well as a veneer of paid staff utterly devoted to keeping the traditions alive.
翻译:这里收藏着许多二战时期的珍贵飞机,其中大部分仍可飞行,此外还有令人惊叹的一战飞机复制品。
戈克斯希尔控制塔经过精心拆解,一砖一瓦地用英国原厂生产的全新砖块和玻璃重建而成。这座历史悠久的塔楼曾是第九航空队使用的第一座塔楼,并幸免于难。
同样,一座二战时期德国远征军的机库也被保存下来,并重新投入使用,用于存放展出的德国飞机。
一座仿照第一次世界大战时期建造的机库,用于存放代表那个时代的经典飞机。
主机库完美地复刻了二战时期的机库,其中一座专门用于展示海军飞机,另一座则用于展示盟军的飞机,包括一些罕见的苏联、英国和美国飞机。
这里还会定期举办一些特别活动,包括由备受赞誉的战斗机工厂工匠们维护的各种飞机进行飞行表演。这些工匠在一个不对公众开放的隐蔽机库中工作。
众多志愿者和少数受薪员工全心全意地致力于传承这些传统,使这个非常特别的收藏保持活力。
