Absolutely BEagle, Waddington has a great history dating back to 1916 with many significant periods.
We are currently in the process of enhancing our post WW2 displays and exhibits and would welcome anyone to contact us if they have any items or stories they think may be of interest from this era or before.
A few of the specific item we are looking for are -
- Canberra or Vulcan flying Helmets (Mk1, 2, 3?)
- 1950s, 60s, 70s, 80s flying suits
- Aircraft signal pistol
- Shrike or Martel ARM
- Some non aircraft/aircrew items to reflect other elements of the station
I hope you saw 'Delta 8 3' on Sky last weekend, I have found a few other gems relevant to Waddington while doing research
