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.

 

G-LYNX returns to The Helicopter Museum

The world record breaking G-LYNX has returned to The Helicopter Museum having been away from the museum for nearly 4 years whilst undergoing restoration by apprentices at AgustaWestland.

G-LYNX now sits proudly alongside XX910 and ZE477, both of which returned this week from RNAS Yeovilton where they have undergone restoration by the Lynx Ops Support Team.
