The Island’s military and aviation museum says it’s hoping to expand after breaking its visitor record last year.
In 2014 the facility next door to Ronaldsway Airport had more than 6,000 visitors for the first time ever.
Museum Director Ivor Ramsden says there simply isn’t enough room for all of the donated exhibits, and he’d also like to provide more educational facilities.
But he admits the improvements won’t come cheap:
