Peterlee, UK — Plans for a North-East helicopter museum combined with a ground-breaking venture in the rehabilitation of disabled former armed forces personnel have taken a step forward.

An application has been submitted to Durham County Council seeking permission for the new facility at Shotton Airfield, next to the Peterlee Parachute Centre.

The development would comprise a helicopter museum, maintenance and training workshop, and learning resource centre.

Durham Helicopter Museum Ltd is a registered charity which plans to provide employment opportunities and back-to-work skills training for disabled ex-service men and women.
