MODEL flying displays, new and historic aircraft, military vehicles, 1940s music and dancing, World War Two re-enactment groups and children’s entertainment will come together for a family fun day at the Museum of Army Flying in Middle Wallop this Bank Holiday Monday (May 28).

The Museum’s flagship annual event, Wartime Wallop, will feature an opportunity to get up close to current military helicopters, as well as the more veteran aircraft including an Auster, Beaver and Scout.

Other attractions on the day will include model flying, a crowd pleasing fly-out from the HAF (Historic Aircraft Flight) team, as well as an opportunity to see or dance in a 1940s style with the Andover Lindyhoppers, or just sit back and enjoy the wartime era singing from the Decibelles.

Attendees include the Wiltshire Home Guard, Many Fronts Living History, 4th Wiltshires, The Joystick Club, Military Education Trust, the Army Air Corps, and many more.

Event organiser, Joe Faretra, said: “The key thing about this year’s event was to add extra value to the day, so we have got Battlefield South’s laser tag arena, face painting, a bouncy castle and science experiments from Genie Lab, all included in the ticket price.

Tickets for the day, which allow access to the Museum grounds as well as the Museum and airfield, cost £15 for adults and £10 for children, family tickets are available for £40 (two adults, three children).
