Nice bloke, I’ve also visited a couple of times. For a private collection he’s doing what he can as well as he can which is great.
I’d love to have some of his toys in my shed.

Hey Stiggy, how about a Forum visit to your museum and any others in the vicinity. If you can arrange a tour and translation I’ll bring along a few traditional English Ales.

I think another smal museum is our local FAS museum (Flanders Aviation Society) at Wevelgem (EBKT) Belgium. It is situated in the bacment of the control tower. It has a Fouga mafister cocpit section and some other historic aviation things.

Here is there website but this is only available in dutch:

Greets,

I have a single exhaust valve from a Merlin 45. Anyone can come and pay a visit to see it on request. That must make mine the smallest museum?

😮

I was just about to set up a pay kiosk outside my garage but my small collection can’t compete with that.

In Australia, north of Adilade and near a small town named Greenock. It is the Lincoln Nitschke Aviation Museum and hosts a lone Canberra (WH700) and a single P-51 (I think).

.

I visited it last year whilst driving up to the Barossa. Lincoln comes out himself and greets you, a very pleasant chap. The museum is much larger than you expect looking from the outside. I took some photos and may post them at some point. The P51 is a mock up by the way.

All the best,

Steve

Nah. They’ve all got too many exhibits to be the smallest.

I think the Wellington Aviation Museum must be one of the smallest.
