The Isle of Man's first Manx vintage transport museum had its official opening over the Easter weekend.

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

The project has taken a long time to reach fruition and its journey hasn't always been a smooth one, with DTL funding being withdrawn at one point last year.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 new facility and chairman Richard Davis says it's great to finally see the vehicles restored to their former glory and on display.

The museum was officially opened by Chief Minister Tony Brown, who drove a modern bus through a length of 'tape', made of bus tickets!

The Manx Telecomputer Bus - itself a potential exhibit one day - was also there to lend its support - entering its its 34th year of service and the last Leyland National bus still in service with the Isle of Man Government.
