The Spring

Immerse yourself in the fascinating story of British Army flying by visiting a hidden gem. The Army Flying Museum sits adjacent to the Army Air Corps Airfield at Middle Wallop, just 10 minutes from Andover.  The Museum houses the impressive journey of British soldiers in the air from the pioneering days of balloons and kites to the Glider Pilot Regiment landing at Arnhem, right through to modern helicopter operations. Visitors are frequently surprised at the volume of artefacts, medals, fixed wing and rotary aircraft. Imaginative displays with a clever use of interactives provide for fascinating insight into the history of British Army aviation. The Museum offers a packed event programme and free activities for children at school holidays
