The Isle of Man's first Manx vintage transport museum was officially opened over the Easter weekend.

A hangar at Jurby Airfield provides the space for a multitude of vehicles, including buses and trams.

The project has been a long time in the making and its journey hasn't always been a smooth one, with DTL funding being withdrawn at one point last year.

The Manx Transport Trust is the organisation behind the museum and chairman Richard Davis says it's great to finally see the vehicles restored to their former glory and on display (play audio file):

The museum was officially opened by Chief Minister Tony Brown, who drove a modern Bus Vannin Volvo through a length of 'tape', made of bus tickets, across the main entrance to the hangar.
