April, 2009
A team from 29 Squadron RAF, led by the Chief Technical Officer, is due to come to the Museum in early April to install drop tanks and missiles on the Phantom as the next stage in the display development of this important aircraft. The aircraft decals, which the 29 team have already provided, will be put onto the Phantom around the same time.
The search for cockpit instruments for this aircraft continues and the Museum’s long term aim of restoring the two cockpits remains in place.
The Tangmere Museum has 3 computer-controlled Flight Simulators for visitors to ‘fly’.
It also has a D-4 Link Trainer which may be flown by suitably-qualified visitors by prior arrangement only. Please click HERE for terms and conditions of use.
The Museum is pleased to be able to offer speakers to interested groups or societies on a range of subjects connected with the history of operations at RAF Tangmere and other military aviation subjects.
The presentations are usually given as an audio/visual presentation using the Museum's equipment. Our presentations can be tailored to suit audiences ranging from specialist societies to community based groups and range in length from 40 to 90 minutes depending on the subject matter.
Further details of the full range of presentations and the availability of speakers can be obtained by calling the museum on 01243 790090, by emailing your interest to director@tangmere-museum.org.uk or by letter marked for the attention of the Director.
