Here’s a sneak preview of some of the planes from the Aerodrome Ride at Oakwood Theme Park having been completely refurbished and repainted. 

Each of the planes has been totally stripped down, before priming and painting.

They have been repainted in a new suite of brighter colours, but more will be revealed when we show you the full range in another blog. 

In the meantime, here are a few images of one of the planes before it is built back up with all of its mechanical underpinnings.
