A Great Day Out At The British Resistance Museum

Posted by Tom Sykes on Saturday, March 27, 2010, In : Events 
Today a large group of CART members travelled to The British Resistance Museum located at Paham Airfield in Suffolk.

It was an amazing day and the members of BROM made us feel very welcome and supplied a great lunch.

A few of us spent the first few hours on paperwork research while the others got chatting to the on site experts.

A must see is their mock underground OB.

You can read more about the Museum here. Images from the day can be seen by members only on our secret members page.
