Boscombe Down museum is having an open day on 29th June 2002. As well as the museum there will be a wealth of family of family things to do. As with previous years, a static display of the modern test aircraft fleet will be on show.
The museum features many rare exhibits and has two Phantoms, two hunters, a Jp, a Mig 21, Swift F7 fus, several cockpits, huge model display and lots more. Normally there is a parachute display.

RE: Boscombe Down Museum Open Day
Unfortunately our web site is run by a voluntary chap who just puts details of the museum. I will try and find the address!!
Last year, there was no flying apart from a free fall display. The atmosphere was wonderful and we had a huge amount of support for the museum which was very nice. In this uncertain climate, we need all the support we can get. There will be various aviation events, the statics, it will be free (unless we can charge just 20p for parking and give the money to the museum – I wish!!!).
I will post more details as I get them.
There may be flying this year, not sure, but will post as soon as I know. Not sure if one can flyin yet either. We have an active club (Bustard Flying Club).
Boscombe Down is just 2 miles off the A303, 15 miles to the west of Andover. It is easy to get to.
regards
Tony

Sounds good Tony. Is there a website with any further details?

That sounds very interesting. Do you know if the Museum has a website ?
Would also like details of how and when to get in to the “Most Secret Place”. I remember seeing a good display by the Museum during the IAT show there some years back.
Cheers,
Mark
