As discussed elsewhere on here, this small but significant local association/ museum is under threat... here is their own words on the subject along with contact details..

about them

The Boulton Paul Association (BPA) was formed in 1991 with the simple aim of preserving the long history of Boulton Paul Aircraft in all its forms. With a membership which includes former employees, Defiant aircrew and people who merely have an interest in West Midlands aviation and BP in particular, a number of projects have been initiated.

this is the first of several posts I will be making as I want to photograph as much as possible, just in case... anyhoo, opening times, open days etc.... again, in their own words...this is quite a sad notice....

I agree, this needs our support.....of all kinds.

Who are the site owners "GE" ? as there are no details, as to why the BPA are having to leave.

Surely there must be somewhere......

The bottom line, I think, (without going into too much detail) is that GE want to develop the site..

I think this is GE-

Aircraft Engines | Aircraft Systems | Aviation Services | GE Aviation
