PlaceRed Barn Gate, Science Museum, Wroughton, Wilts, SN4 9NS
This excellent event was at Wroughton Airfield, about three miles South of Swindon
(around 45 mins from Oxford). The whole event was created by Greg Dunningham of JEC Swindon.
He expended a huge effort in doing this and he very much deserves our support.
Wroughton is the home of the largest facility of the National Collections of the Science
Museum (18 000 objects). Museum exhibits range from the Lockheed Constellation airliner to MRI scanners.
