Musée Espace Air Passion — Attraction in Angers

Just returned from a wonderful holiday in the Loire valley. We found the Air Museum almost by accident driving to Angers. What a wonderful facility! Many old aircraft, some being restored by enthusiastic volunteers. We were treated to a personal guided tour, even seeing the storage facility which is not normally open to the public. We expected to be asked to leave when the museum closed at midday, but instead we were allowed to wander around until 2pm when the barbecue lunch was finished, and again our personal tour continued. One highlight for me was the number of model aircraft items, from wonderful flying models to a huge collection of model aircraft engines. Very similar to Old Warden in Bedfordshire, but even more up close & personal. Five stars...

Flew into the airport to pick up some co-workers and had a few minutes to go to the museum. It was closed to the public but the men who worked there invited me and a couple colleagues in. We were given a tour and where able to view projects that they were currently working on. Amazing place and I highly recommend anyone to stop in and see the amazing aircraft and history that is there. ...

Visited today a Sunday and what luck it was an open day, a great place to see french built GA aircraft that never realy made it of the drawing board and the second hanger full to the roof with gliders and other robin and jodel parts. A very interesting...
