G4NSJ – Tangmere Military Aviation Museum

G4NSJ HOME PAGE

The Military Aviation Museum is located in Tangmere, Near Chichester, West Sussex. Their website is well worth a look. I haven’t been to the museum for a while but I do have a few photos of some of the radio gear on display. I hope to visit the museum again this year, 2025, and take some more photos.
