Set on an plinth is a full size replica of a spitfire , there is a comprehensive history of the airfield that was nearby during the 2nd World War There is also a list of pilots killed who flew from this area and also the Polish and other nations pilots who gave their lives .

The walk through the tunnel is very interesting. There is a free car park nearby. It can be damp so recommend you take a waterproof jacket. There is lighting. Beware of cyclists. If a barge is travelling through the tunnel, even more interesting. At the Edinburgh end of the tunnel, keep walking to the laughing and greeting bridge.
