Nope dont think they have the MiG hulk -thats at the Fenland and West Norfolk – a top bunch of chaps with an ace museum by the way – they kindly loaned us a Hurri 1 merlin for display – i have tried to get to see the Robertsbridge Museum for at least 10 years i think they open at odd hours and are more of a ‘collecting society’ – that may be unfair but they are never open when i’ve been past 🙁 – that said i wrote to them about an engine last year and they were absolutely charming…maybe a manpower issue?

Re: Fenland museum

TexanTomcat…you wouldn’t have a contact number for the Fenland museum would you? Can’t seem to find anything on the internet and I have a couple of questions for them…

If your going down that way Brenzett museum is well worth a visit, then go on down to the coast on the eastern side of dungeness power station by the lighthouse ,theres a great cafe there and a pub. And somewhere around there is a or was a grave marker for a crashed polish spitfire pilot .

Is it worth making the trip back down for? Maybe combined with a trip to Tangmere? Or heading in the other direction, Brenzett? Forum meet? Fish and chips on the beach front at Hastings?

If you’re looking for something to do, or somewhere to meet, on Easter Sunday (or any Sunday after that), why not come and check us out? We’ve got some really nice new exhibits for this year, and did I mention the four pubs in the village (for Sunday lunch of course)?

Are these the people with the Fairford MiG29 cockpit wreck or am I thinking of something else????

I’ve been, albeit a few years ago and I thought it was superb although a bit “chaotic”. I dare say it’s more organised now. Loads of recovered items – engines, turrets etc. plus a few airframes/cockpit sections. I’ll dig out some pics if you’re interested.

I need to go there this year, they have a few lumps of my stuff on show including a replica 500lb bomb from the Memphis Belle film. They have an outstation display at the delightful Newhaven Fort, well worth a visit Ashley.

Yes please, thank you 🙂
