ARMY AVIATION MUSEUM, MIDDLE WALLOP

A few years since I've been to Middle Wallop and the Museum has gained a number of aviation exhibits, WWII gliders are now far more comprehensively covered, while the WAH-64 Apache AH.1 was only added a few weeks previously. Lots see and admire relating to Army aviation.
