A most memorable, amazing, compelling, stunning, moving and awe inspiring experience
Manx Aviation and Military Museum的点评
点评:From the Napoleonic to the Cold war this museum engrossingly documents the Islands involvement in these conflicts. It tells two exciting stories – the aviation heritage in particular WWI/WWII of IOM and the IOM and its people at war. By focusing on people and their incredible often heroic real stories rather than events it has an unusually intimate and often moving atmosphere.
Often likened to Dr Who's "Tardis", and packed full of exhibits ranging from a tiny model tank to full sized aircraft, rare and unique items recovered from the Irish Sea plus a memorial garden to Canadian and Polish airmen, the museum is a most memorable, amazing, compelling, stunning and awe inspiring experience.
Watch aircraft passing close by from Ronaldsway airport [even be a pilot on historic Manx Airways aircraft] whilst sitting in the peaceful memorial garden or the picnic area and visit the shop for gifts, books and model kits.
Entry is free. The museum is a charity, run by knowledgeable volunteers, and receives no official funding so donations are welcomed to help cover the operating costs / maintain exhibits as well as develop new exhibits / restore aircraft – in particular currently the Morris gun tractor appeal.
翻译:从拿破仑时代到冷战,这座博物馆引人入胜地记录了马恩岛参与这些冲突的历程。它讲述了两个激动人心的故事——马恩岛移民组织在一战和二战时期的航空遗产,以及马恩岛移民组织及其在战争中的同胞。博物馆关注的是人物及其令人难以置信的、充满英雄气概的真实故事,而非事件本身,营造出一种异常亲切感人的氛围。
博物馆常被比作《神秘博士》中的“塔迪斯”,馆内展品丰富,从微型坦克模型到全尺寸飞机,从爱尔兰海打捞出的珍稀独特文物,以及一座纪念加拿大和波兰飞行员的花园。博物馆将带给您一段难忘、震撼、引人入胜、令人叹为观止、令人敬畏的体验。
您可以坐在宁静的纪念花园或野餐区,观看从罗纳德斯韦机场飞过的飞机(甚至可以驾驶历史悠久的马恩岛航空公司的飞机),还可以去商店购买礼品、书籍和模型套件。
免费入场。该博物馆是一个慈善机构,由知识渊博的志愿者运营,没有接受任何官方资助,因此欢迎捐款以帮助支付运营成本/维护展品以及开发新展品/修复飞机 - 特别是目前的莫里斯枪式拖拉机吸引力。
