While still in the planning stages, the Scottish National Museum of Flight in East Lothian, Scotland is preparing an application for a facilities upgrade for funding through the United Kingdom’s Heritage Lottery fund. Housed at former RAF East Fortune, a former Royal Air Force station, the museum already boasts an impressive collection of aircraft, including rare warbirds like the Messerschmitt Me 163 and Bristol Bolingbroke and notable civil aviation craft like the Vickers Viscount and Concorde.
