Secretary of State for Defence makes flying visit to Boscombe Down
A last minute phone call to the Vice-Chair of Laverstock & Ford Parish Council Cllr Laura Jones, saw some hasty preparations to host a brief visit from Grant Shapps, who has been in post as Secretary of State for Defense since August 2023, at the Boscombe Down Aviation Collection this week, on Wednesday 10th April.

Parish Councillors were able to show-off how proud they are of the Boscombe Down Aviation Collection and the work the team do, led by Directors David Berryman and Squadron Leader John Sharpe, to showcase local Aviation History and in particular, the important role Old Sarum Airfield played in both wars. This flying visit by the Secretary of State for Defence, was a testament to the team at BDAC and the attraction of its beautifully restored aviation items forming both the collection and its archives. On the night of the visit, Cllr Lainey Barker welcomed Invited guests including Philip Wilkinson, the Wiltshire Police and Crime commisioner, John Glen MP for Wiltshire and Wiltshire Councillor Richard Rogers, and before the tour of the BDAC began some searching questions were asked about the state of military housing, our realistic defence capabilities, and a poignant question was posed by a member of the British Maritime Foundation in the form of a plea to rescue the Ships anchor of the RN HMS Prince of Wales, which was confiscated by Malaysian Police from scavengers, and to see it brought home.
