If you're not local and after someone aviation related stuff the only thing I can think of is the FAST museum

Although Wings and Wheels is on this weekend at Dunsfold which isn't far away

The airshow is now well and truly over. Most of the chalets and display halls have been dismantled and stashed away for 2016.

I was thinking of popping into the FAST Museum on Sunday as I haven't been down there since April. I'm a member of FAST so like to show my support every so often.

Too expensive for the likes of me.

If you fancy a guided tour of the FAST Museum - drop me a line.

The aviator is good. .. or was 2 years ago. Very good cocktail bar and the tasting menu was good. . Though not quite mstar standard.

I've stayed there.

Its alright and looks pleasant enough but rooms definitely done up to a budget, so will age quickly and won't last imo

Nice food but my god is the service st! I much prefer 'The Village' on the other side of the airport.

Service was fine but not been there for a year or so. Went to the village a couple weeks back and a bit disappointed with the food, nowhere near as good as last time we went.
