This Sunday ,11th August marks the 33rd anniversary of G-LYNX breaking the world helicopter speed record,which it still holds today.The Museum Chairman( who was present at the time) will be giving a talk on this achievement in front of the aircraft at 11.00 hours,with Clive Guest ,the crew chief for the helicopter, also invited to be present.(We will also explain the rules and why helicopters with jet engines and propellers strapped on don't count in this record category).
It's also Navy Wings weekend at the museum and as the weather forecast for Weston-super-Mare and the southwest generally is b****y awful it might be a good indoor option for the day!
