The exhibition will include objects, film, audio clips and many photographs not previously shown. A book to accompany the exhibition will be available.
Special schools presentations are planned to accompany the exhibition.

Southend Seafront Southend, Essex, UK
Sunday, 25 May 2008 - Monday, 26 May 2008 10:00 to 18:00
The two day Southend Airshow is undoubtedly the most spectacular event in Southend's calendar. Staged against the backdrop of the Thames Estuary, along almost 2 miles of seafront, this is one of Europe's largest free airshows. and much more!
Southend was the first seaside resort in the country to stage an Airshow and it's become one of Europe's largest FREE events of its kind, regularly attracting over a half a million people to the seafront over the weekend.
Whilst the skies over the Thames Estuary are filled with roaring and buzzing of fast jets as they zoom and flit at lightning speed, or formation aerobatic teams mesmerise the crowd with their manoeuvres, there's a non-stop action-packed entertainment programme that stretches for two miles on the ground.
The Maxims Casino Southend Airshow is a wonderful day out for all the family.
For information ring the Airshow Hotline No: 01702 390333 or visit www.southendairshow.com. Airshow is held on the Western Esplanade.
