On Sunday the 8th July 1984 the Booker Aircraft Museum was most honoured to welcome fellow aircraft enthusiast, friend and popular music superstar Gary Numan to officially open our museum.
Gary flew into booker airfield (Wycombe Air Park) in his North American Harvard war time trainer in its authentic World War 2 brown and green camouflage scheme, Gary was met near the control tower by the museum’s curator Gordon King and they were both then chauffeur driven the short distance to the museum in style, by museum member Phil Brazier in his Cadillac to a large excited crowd of fans that had gathered waiting to greet him.
A highly polished engraved aircraft piston on a wooden plinth prepared and constructed by our Vice Chairman Peter E Johnson, was presented to Gary by Peter’s daughter Kelly Johnson age 14 and her friend Jane Syson, just two of Gary’s many fans in attendance on the day.
