Museum of Army Flying
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Museum of Army Flying is an award-winning British military aviation museum about the history of flying in the British Army. It is located beside the Army Air Corps Centre in Middle Wallop, close to Andover in Hampshire, England.
The Museum’s exhibits include the exact helicopter used to set the world speed record, a spcially modified Westland Lynx. Also on display at the museum are Aérospatiale Gazelle, Bristol Sycamore and the Saunders-Roe Skeeter, among others. The museum also has the piece of Soviet equipment that was the greatest threat to British Army helicopters during the Cold War, the ZSU-23-4, captured from the Iraqi Army during the first Gulf War.
