'V' Force and the best of British
What-Ho! Squadron Leader ‘Ginger’ Jones here! I’m the Commander here at Waddingthorpe and along with my trusted crew, we make sure that our marvellous, magnificent, mischeivious best of British aircraft stay airborne and out of trouble. You can read all out your favourite plane and meet our dedicated crew on our meet the planes page. All of us here at Waddingthorpe share the same goal and that is to inspire children to engage with the wonders of flight and the engineering that helps achieve it. We also want to educate children on Britain’s rich history of engineering excellence and how they can continue this standard into the 21st century. Thanks to the boffins and skills of the people of Great Britain, this great nation was and still is the centre of excellence for technology and innovation. And of course lets not forget the fantastic aircraft that Britain produced, flew and maintained!
