Hi, Is there a de H Venom in the museum – my uncle Victor Arundel Love was killed at Somerford in 1954 when a Venom he was testing came off its chocks and blew him into the ground, he died at the scene, my auntie also recently died and the story re-surfaced at the funeral and I am kind of curious about these machines. Thanks in anticipation Adrian

Hi Ken,
I have advised the website that my photographs taken at the Bournemouth Aviation Museum were taken prior to the museum closing in December 2007 and subsequently re-opening at a different location close to Bournemouth airport with the loss of some exhibits.

Where have the Gnat, Meteor NF, Buccaneer etc gone to?
I visited Bournemouth airport several weeks ago and noticed the Buccaneer was parked by European Engineering base.
Do not know what has happened to other aircraft. Would suggest you contact Bournemouth Aviation Museum who I am sure will be able to provide you with information.
