The tour is run by Darren Williams who is a very knowledgeable bloke who gives you a booklet on the history of Hawarden and info re some of the residents. He gives a tour of the hangars he is authorised to do. Also tells you the details of the other hangars. One hangar held a Kingair in silver primer not sure if a shadow or not. He is happy for anyone to contact him re tours of the hangars – also as Bob has previously stated the tours are free- however a donation to the nominated charities would be appreciated.
No photographs allowed but it is a small price to make- tours only take place on a Tuesday and Wednesday and Darren can be contacted on the Hawarden Website.
Made 13 from the tour plus two into LPL 15 so far for the day
