RAF Beaulieu ( + New Forest Airfields) Exhibition in June 2022

Dear all,

In June I am putting on an exhibition at East Boldre Village Hall in the New Forest. The hall is the last standing building from the East Boldre WW1 airfield, and any money raised will go towards its upkeep.

Thursday 2nd, Friday 3rd, Saturday 4th, and Sunday 5th of June
East Boldre Village Hall, Main Road, East Boldre SO42 7WD
Doors open 10am til 4pm daily.

The main focus of exhibition is the history of RAF Beaulieu from the Second World War period to present day. On display will be never before seen photos, film footage from the 1940s, and information panels. You can also view physical artefacts from the New Forest’s wartime history including details on the crashed aircraft.

Other exhibitors

• RAF Calshot:One room will be dedicated to RAF Calshot, with artefacts and displays relating to the wartime history, including the Schneider Trophy races.
• RAF Lymington & RAF Needs Oar Point: There will also be displays containing physical items and information panels about these two pre D-Day airfields that were local to Beaulieu.

And more TBC.
