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’.
The Museum is 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.
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 chairman@tangmere-museum.org.uk or by letter marked for the attention of the Chairman.
The Museum car park has been enlarged and re-laid and audio guides provided with the assistance of LEADER – the European Agricultural Fund for Redevelopment.
