The newest Hall at the museum houses a 1950s Line Hut which serves as the focal point of the Museum’s preservation efforts – the Hunter Mk 5 and the English Electric Lightning F53 – both aircraft generously donated to the museum by Raymond and the late Meryl Hansed.
Also on view is a Link Trainer under restoration and a presentation on Operation Musketeer – the Suez Emergency of 1956.
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 director@tangmere-museum.org.uk or by letter marked for the attention of the Director.
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.
