Museum now impregnable!7th June 2007 Members of the Sywell Aviation Museum attended RAF North Luffenham yesterday to save a Yarnold Sangar type Pillbox for display at the museum. Situated on a redundant site, 5131 (Bomb Disposal) Squadron Royal Air Force, kindly donated the pillbox. The recovery was very kindly sponsored by Barton Plant Ltd. of Kettering who provided the vehicle and driver. The Yarnold Sangar pillbox was based loosely on the very rare Pickett Hamilton wartime design and was a common sight throughout the Cold War, with many examples still extant on active bases. This however is the first one in preservation that we know of. It has been erected next door to the the Museum building in the public car park and now 'guards' the entrance!
With grateful thanks to the RAF and Barton Plant Ltd. | ||||
