On a trip to Barrow in Cumbria yesterday I came across a cafe which announced itself as "the first aviation based cafe in the country". Well really!! I had to go in. Its a passion of the owner clearly but as you can see from the pictures it all adds up to a pretty bizarre affair.The aeroplane which forms the centre piece of the cafe along with genuine seats and windows was a Shorts 360. The view from the windows was a video on a loop which was a film, taken by the cafe owner of a descent into Orlando Sandford airport.
Other delights included the front of a plane (a Sessna 310 in case you were wondering) looking like it had come through the wall and a real time digital radar screen showing aircraft currently flying over Barrow. All in all a fairly unusual place to have a cup of tea.
I get the theme - quirky Britain - like it there is not enough about. There is beer for dogs which i've seen in the pet shop on Beech Road - get a bottle in for your terrier.
