In 1975, years of effort to find a home for the growing collection paid off when a lease was negotiated with Coventry City Council for a small piece of land on the northern side of Coventry Airport and members turned into amateur builders and civil engineers to establish a Midland Air Museum - a considerable change from attendance at air displays. Early in 1977 the Midland Aircraft Preservation Society officially changed into the Midland Air Museum, which just over 12 months later became a Limited Company. With just five aeroplanes on display the Museum admitted its first visitors on Sunday, April 2nd, 1978 when 67 people paid a total of £7.10 to enter.
