The Great Omaka Snake Escape! It's the school holidays and we're shouting out to all young adventur-ers to come and help us with the Great Omaka Snake Escape! 70 years ago, a 14.4 foot Hudson bomber crashed deep into the Solomon Islands jungle. Our plane salvaging explorers have discov-ered the rusting wreck and it's now on display in the amazing re-vamped Dangerous Skies exhi-bition but they've disturbed a nest of plane swelling snakes who have made their slithery, scaly escape into the museum!

Anyone wanting to enter needs to contact Mrs Abbott
