Great ideas Kiltman. If he's interested in aircraft how about the Museum of Flight at East Fortune? They have a concorde you can board as well as lots of other aircraft.

Re: day out help needed

Good idea bridd, the Museum of Flight is excellent, also well worth trying to go for their annual Airshow held in July and some of the other events organised during the year.

I have added that link to my post above :tup
