As a former Apprentice in the Royal Signals, a visit was a must when in the area, particularly as I would have been posted to Blandford following the end of my Apprentice training had I not been medically discharged. It is a very comprehensive display showing the history of signals and communications from the earliest through to the most recent and the many different roles of soldiers in R.Sigs. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and a cup of NAAFI tea was a delight! I later worked for Marconi on Signals projects. Although there is a lot of early stuff, Second World War era stuff and modern equipment, there is very little of what I was familiar with; the only examples being a D10 ra...
that was a nice day outside while I wasn't in the rain. they have registered with photo ID when they arrive there as the museum is on an active army basis. the museum talks about how the use of signals has evolved in the struggle over many years. to the current age. they can simply spend a day there if this type of cache they are interested. there is a kantine or naafi as it is right where they can get hot food or sandwiches. we did this halfway through our visit, then again meandering around the museum. it is not free to come as the big muses, but it will not break the bank either. it is beautifully decorated and contains some interactive features. dorset was very relevant in the second wor...
During our latest visit near Salisbury, we had the chance to explore the Royal Signal Museum. As a former signaller (Telemech/Rigger), it felt like I was traveling back in time, particularly when I delved into the sections on Ptarmigan (7 Signals) and Brinton/Cougar (Northern Ireland). My two companions also enjoyed the experience, as it offered them a glimpse into military life, reflecting the environment of the camp. The top brands available for the provost staff in the guardroom were an added bonus.
I love this place! I usually work at the camp, so we often go there for lunch. The food is great; I usually opt for a coffee and a speckwurstrolle. The staff is also wonderfully friendly. Today, I had an incredible chocolate cake with creamy frosting. It was an amazing dessert, freshly made that morning at the café.
My husband used to be in the Royal Signals so was keen to visit while we were in the area. It was quite interesting, especially the bits within our memory such as Afghanistan. It wasn't too big for wandering round and there are quite a few interactive sections.
This is a fantastic museum dedicated to military history. Be ready to present your passes upon arrival. The staff were incredibly friendly, and they were especially kind to our young son. There are many impressive items and military artifacts to explore.
There was a lot to see in this interesting museum. Good value at £7 for OAP. As it is on a military base you need to take proper ID in order to gain a pass for admission.
An interesting off the beaten track museum. It is located on an active army camp, so take an photo ID that shows your address.
