Museum of Army Flying Airfield

Andover, Hampshire, England

"The Worlds Most Beautiful Flat-Field Flying Site"

Middle Wallop is the home of the British Army's helicopter training school, and has the largest all grass airfield in Europe.

It is also the home of the Museum of Army Flying, where you can spend several hours touring the many exhibits. On the next occasion when the weather is foul enough to discourage model flying, pay it a visit, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

ACCESS

The airfield is open for model flying ONLY at organised events on the dates published (check the notice board before travelling to any event.)

An entry charge is payable (presently £6) by all flyers (accompanying wives, partners and children free).

Access is open to all of the following:

PLEASE NOTE: You may be asked to provide proof of BMFA membership so please carry it with you at all times.

RESTRICTIONS

PLEASE NOTE: Dogs ARE PERMITTED but must be kept under control at all times.
Dogs are NOT PERMITTED on adjacent farm land.

The event organiser will advise the attendees of meetings of any restrictions that apply on that day

PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THEM AND ACT RESPONSIBLY

Museum of Army Flying

"Celebrating over one hundred years of army aviation, this award-winning museum is home to one of the country’s finest historical collections of military kites, gliders, aeroplanes and helicopters. There are over 35 helicopters and fixed wing aircraft to see at the museum including the largest collection of military gliders in Europe.

The Museum’s imaginative dioramas and static displays trace the developments of Army flying from pre Royal Flying Corps years through World War II to more recent conflicts in Ireland, the Falklands and the Gulf. Just how the British Army has used the air to advantage in the battlefield is the theme of the museum."
