Bad news I`m afraid; I don`t know how old your information was but when I worked at that godawful place in the mid eighties, there was no museum there that I ever heard of.

You must have just been unaware of it, because it was there! Graham Cooper ran it in one of the buildings in the South-West corner of the yard and as a well as a building full of various exhibits had a complete Sea Vixen, a Gannet procedures trainer and some other bits and pieces. He was under threat at various times and finally lost his battles last year. The Sea Vixen's gone to Yeovilton, the Gannet nose is in private hands, don't know about the rest.
