G4NSJ – Wings Aviation Museum aircraft radio military

G4NSJ HOME PAGE

The Wings Aviation Museum is Near Balcombe in West Sussex. I must admit that I’ve not been there but my sister-in-law has and she took some photos f0r me. I aim to visit the museum this summer, 2025. When I do, I’ll take a few more photos and tell you more about the museum. I’ve yet to establish what all the gear is in the photos. Some are obvious, some not so obvious. Whatever it is, it’s amazing! Bear with me while I work on this page.
