Just a heads up for anyone planning a visit.

I went to visit today (Tuesday May 13th) to find that hangars 3, 4 and 5, are shut due to flooding. Not sure how long this will go on for but might be worth checking with them before making a long journey.

Really? I was also there yesterday (Tuesday 13th May) for a brief visit around lunchtime, only had time to look around hangars 3 and 4 (or whatever the Belfast Truss hangars are numbered) and there was full, unimpeded access throughout.

Well I guess there has been a lot of rain of late…

Thunderstorms across London have led to some flash flooding and forced the capital’s only cable car to close.

Hailstones pelted London on Monday afternoon, blocking roads and leaving some streets covered in an inch of water.

Flood water shut the Hendon Way (A41) between Wessex Gardens and the Brent Cross Flyover, forcing buses to divert.
