Canberra cockpit section - Tangmere Museum -  6.8.2014

Tangmere Military Aviation Museum


Folder: Military, Naval & Air Force
Photos taken on a visit to the Tangmere Military Aviation Museum near Chichester in Sussex. It was a key fighter station of the Royal Air Force in WW2. The museum is staffed mainly by volunteers, many of whom are ex-servicemen, with experience of flying or servicing aircraft. The 'logo' is my way of identifying the photos as a group taken on 6.8.2014 and is not an official label.
