Forthcoming lecture - 24th September 2011

As part of our regular 'Spotter's Weekend', David Gibbings will be giving a daytime lecture at 11am in the Museums Lecture Room entitled 'The Evolution of the British Helicopter Industry'. The lecture will include a section on G-LYNX which is on display in the museum's main hangar. 

 

David Gibbings is a retired Career Flight Test Engineer and aviation historian, lecturer and artist. He worked  for 38 years testing helicopters with over 3000hrs flying time as flight test crew.
He also worked on the Fairey Rotodyne, the remaining parts of which are on display at the museum, and has a specialised interest in similar projects. 

  

There is no additional charge for the lecture, only standard museum entrance with free entry to all friends of the museum with a valid membership card and Gift Aid return visitors.

Spotters Tours will be held over the weekend at various times throughout the day.

 

Spotter's Weekend

Every so often we open our doors for extra special events and this weekend is a Spotter's Weekend.

Visitors have the opportunity to be part of special tours around the museum including the areas holding our reserve collections which are usually out of bounds to the public. This is a unique opportunity for Spotters to get up-close to some of the airframes and spend time with like-minded individuals.

The next opportunity will be September...
