Plans for a tourist attraction in Doncaster based around the iconic Vulcan bomber have been approved by Doncaster Council.
The giant hangar and visitor centre will be constructed on a site next to Doncaster Sheffield Airport.
The centre will feature The Vulcan, a 1950s Canberra bomber, which the Vulcan to the Sky Trust hopes to restore to flying condition, and a Supermarine Swift cold war jet fighter, inside the building.
The aircraft will be the centrepiece of a science museum, which has been compared with the Eden Centre in Cornwall.
Although the Vulcan can no longer fly, it will be taken outside to do powered taxi runs in front of the public, which will mean the famous roar of its jets would still be heard.
The plans also include a shop, cafe, bar, education, conference, office, kitchen area, and assembly areas where work would be carried out on the jets. Bosses hope to use it for conferences and educational events.
