Members of the group welcomed the royal visitor and showed her around their workshop, where they are currently restoring a Boulton Paul Defiant.

The Duchess was presented with a series of gifts by MAPS, including a scale model of the Defiant and two books written by members of the group.

She was also made an honorary member of the society.
