Iron Curtain Museum, Alton

[zz]

Drove past this museum today on the A339, south of Lasham, northwest of Alton. Driving very slowly and knowing where to look I was able to see the MiG-21 from the road.

Apparently they are aiming to open the museum in July- many Eastern European, Cold War vehicles as well as the MiG.

Is that the MIG that used to be at the FAST museum at Farnborough?

No, it came from Poland last year, I think.

Indeed, it was owned in Poland by a private individual who by all accounts kept it in the grounds of his house, it was then sold late last year and delivered to Alton via low loader. Courtesy of PlaneBase
