Tonbridge Battle of Britain Museum RAF Pilot Sergeants Uniform

This is a Sergeant Pilots uniform as worn in the Battle of Britain, with 36 Pattern flying boots that most pilots had during this period.

History of the museum

After digging the Half Moon Spitfire, I really got the bug and it just went on from there. The collection has just got bigger and bigger, it all started with a few pieces stored at the top of my garden, then stored in friends sheds and garages. Over the years I have tried to organise a place to house my growing collection from local councils, on airfields and so on, sadly this didn't happen. So in the end I decided to build a museum in my own back garden, this I started in the late summer of 1989 and believe me, I had to beg borrow and steal to get the project built. It took me about three years to get the initial museum built. It was not until I came to setting up all of my collection that I realised it was not big enough! So I had to make it even bigger and that is what you can see here today. This all started from Spitfire P7539.
