Tangmere Military Aviation Museum
Tangmere Military Aviation Museum, Aviation museum at RAF Tangmere, England.
The Tangmere Military Aviation Museum displays military aircraft, engines, and aviation equipment across multiple halls, including dedicated spaces for Battle of Britain aircraft and other important examples. The exhibits cover different eras and types of planes with related objects and technical information.
RAF Tangmere served as a frontline fighter station during World War II and played a key role in Britain's air defense. The museum opened in 1982 to preserve this aviation history and the legacy of this strategic base.
The collection includes artifacts from Polish and American squadrons that operated from this RAF base during military campaigns. You can see how different nations worked together at this British aviation station.
You can listen to audio guides in English and Polish, and request guided tours at reception if you prefer more information. The site has a cafeteria and an outdoor picnic area for spending time between exhibits.
The museum holds two aircraft that set world speed records: the Gloster Meteor F.4 Special from 1946 and the Hawker Hunter Mk3 from 1953. These machines show how quickly jet fighter technology advanced after the war.
