Every September, thousands of volunteers across England organise a wide range of events to celebrate the history and culture of the country, and the volunteer team from the Army Flying Museum at Middle Wallop in Hampshire is no exception.
The Museum is proud to have a number of knowledgeable and experienced volunteer tour guides who regularly take organised groups on tours of the Museum, charting the history of British Army aviation and regaling visitors with stories of intrigue, personal anecdotes and humour.
Established in 1994, Heritage Open Days takes place from the 6-15 September, and brings people together to celebrate their heritage, community and history. Stories are told, traditions explored, and histories brought to life.
To embrace this, the tour guides at the Army Flying Museum have organised three special tours which will run on the 8th and 12th September and are included with the normal Museum entry price and available for any visitor to book.
With their wealth of experience, visitors that have a particular interest in military history won’t fail to be astounded by the breadth of knowledge of the guides, all of which are retired military personnel or military historians. The tours will take visitors on a journey of reconnaissance, communication and combat, whilst highlighting the story of British Army aviation amongst the stunning exhibits and aircraft on display at the Hampshire Museum.
In England, Heritage Open Days has expanded and diversified from 701 events at its launch to over 5,000 today, providing countless opportunities for more people to come together and enjoy, often surprising, but always interesting, doorstep discoveries.
