• British Jets of the 50s! Part 1 - Early Engines, Meteors and Vampires

  When Joe Wilding and I first took a look at the US Air Force's Century Series 18 months ago, we always wanted to take a look at their British equivalent, and now we have! In part one of our look at "The British Century Series" (not a thing), Joe and I convened at the Tangmere Military Aviation Museum in West Sussex, England and had a look at some of the super unique aircraft in their collection, starting with jet engines, a record-setting Gloster Meteor and a de Havilland Vampire.Visit the Tangmere Military Aviation Museum website here: https://tangmere-museum.org.uk/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559899811674Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tangmeremilitaryaviation/X: https://twitter.com/museumtangmere-----------------------------------------------------🛫 Join us on Patreon!

• Tangmere Military Aviation Museum Tour

  The Tangmere Military Aviation Museum is a gem of a museum located on a corner of the former RAF Tangmere, just outside Chichester, West Sussex. On a surprisingly sunny Sussex day, marketing manager Julian Bridle kindly showed us around some of the gems of the collection, including my favourite Hawker Hunter, the bright red 1953 air speed record-breaking F.3 WB188.Visit the Tangmere Military Aviation Museum website here: https://tangmere-museum.org.uk/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559899811674Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tangmeremilitaryaviation/X: https://twitter.com/museumtangmere-----------------------------------------------------🛫 Join us on Patreon!
