Chapter Two

By 1981 a number of parts recovered was stored in a hangar at Booker Airfield, the need for them to be preserved, displayed and researched became the most prominent focus and goal for me at this time. This chapter therefor describes the building of the Booker Aircraft Museum and its development.

JH= High Wycombe at War Exhibition held at The Booker Aircraft Museum 18th 19th August 1990

The Exhibition included detailed sections relating to the furniture industries involvement in the production of Mosquito aircraft, the Molins Company development of the automatic firing 6lb cannon fitted to some Mosquito Aircraft, Davenport Vernon & Co Ltd. Service and repair to Vickers Wellington Aircraft, the Booker Airfield war time R.A.F. activity training Glider Pilots, along with major section on High Wycombe home front activities as well as the numerous aircraft recoveries from local crash sites undertaken in the area.
