Chief Executive of the Museum Lucy Johnson said: “Wallop Wheels and Wings is the Army Flying Museum’s main fundraising event and a chance to showcase some of the best vintage aircraft, cars and motorbikes on the beautiful site of the historic Middle Wallop airfield. The museum is an independent charity and relies on fundraising activities to support the work we do in preserving the history of Army aviation, so the proceeds from this event are vitally important and we are hugely grateful to our main sponsors Rolls-Royce Ltd, Waltet and Castle Cameras for their support. But remember, the event is also a brilliant day out for the whole family and we hope you can join us.”
