Tangmere Military Aviation Museum is situated in a corner of the old Tangmere airfield, famed as an RAF fighter station from 1918 until Fighter Command left in 1958.
The Museum aims to promote public awareness of the United Kingdom’s military aviation heritage, educating present and future generations in military aviation. In September the Museum will be hosting an exhibition to mark the 40th Anniversary of the founding of the Museum which serves as a memorial to airmen and airwomen who gave their lives in the service of this country. The Museum is now managed and run entirely by volunteers. In 2017 was awarded the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service.
In May we shall have our Falklands Day with pilots from that conflict coming to Tangmere Military Aviation Museum. The Museum has in its aircraft inventory a Se Harrier that took part in the conflict. Beginning in April the Museum has an exhibition commemorating the 40th Anniversary of the Falklands Conflict. The exhibition will run through until the end of August.
Now one of the UK’s leading aviation museums, it is home to an impressive display of historic aircraft with a unique collection of aviation memorabilia stretching from the First World War through to the Cold War. Amongst the many attractions, there are numerous interactive displays and aircraft cockpits and simulators for visitors to experience. Light refreshments may be purchased in the Museum’s acclaimed Cockpit Cafe. A museum with something for all members of the family to enjoy
