The Amy Johnson Room

The first floor room was given over to Amy Johnson memorabilia in 1959. This collection was a gift from Amy's father in October 1958, and consists of various souvenirs and mementoes presented to Amy and her husband, Jim Mollison. Since then, additional material received from other sources has further enhanced the Amy Johnson Collection. More information can be found on the Amy Johnson page.
