Guide to Military Museums...

The answers are below, but for much more information, all you have to do is spend Ł5 on the 10th edition of A Guide to Military Museums and other Places of Military interest, which first appeared in 1969. More than 370 museums, sites and collections are listed and the layout has been simplified so the entries appear under the names of the towns or nearest towns.Each entry includes a brief summary of what can be seen on display, the facilities offered, admission prices and opening hours, phone and fax numbers, web site Addresses and directions on how to get there for the more rural locations. A comprehensive index lists the many Army units, naval ships and establishments, and RAF stations (squadrons appear under individual entries) covered by the museums. Really good value for a fiver.
