Museum of Scottish Aviation - East Fortune rd

The National Museum of Flight is Scotland's national aviation museum, at East Fortune Airfield, just south of the village of East Fortune, Scotland. The museum is housed in the original wartime buildings of RAF East Fortune which is a well preserved World War II airfield. RAF East Fortune was used as a fighter station during the First World War and later used by a night fighter operational training unit during the Second World War. The motto of the station is "Fortune Favours the Bold".

    The de Havilland DH.84 Dragon is a successful small commercial aircraft. This one VH-SNB was built in 1942. After the Second World War it was used in Australia by the Northern Territory Aerial Medical Service and then by Reverend Les Nixon for the ‘Outback Patrol’, a Christian community service.
