Middle Wallop is thought to be the site of a battle between certain Vitalinus, possibly Vortigern, and Aurelius Ambrosius, great leaders and Warlords of the 5th Century. The military theme continued centuries on, with Middle Wallop first opening as a Flying Training School by the Royal Air Force in 1940, although originally intended as a bomber airfield it became operational in June 1940 with the arrival of No 609 Fighter Squadron RAF. The airfield was part of 10 Fighter Group during the Battle of Britain and suffered many air raids. In 1945 the Station was transferred to the Royal Navy and became HMS Flycatcher, but reverted back to the RAF in 1946. In 1957 the Army Air Corps came into being and absorbed what was then known as the AOP School and Light Liaison Units. Middle Wallop was then renamed the AAC Centre, and the School became known as the School of Army Aviation in August 1965. The Museum of Army Flying was officially opened in 1984 and houses many aircraft and artefacts previously found in private collections in addition to Army Flying historical archives. With the museum housing many artefacts with which many people held an affiliation and were once physically attached it is felt that this could explain a number of unexplained occurances which have been reported over the years. The ghost of a lady who was riding her bike during the Second World War, and was hit by a bomb targeted at the building, has been seen in the building and around the airfield area. The spirit of a small boy has been spotted sat in one of the display helicopters, while another apparition of a woman has been seen standing up on the mezzanine. Phantom footsteps have been heard and unexplained shadows seen when no one has been there.

The Museum of Army Air Flying consisted of a vast hanger split in two, filled for the most part with original aircraft from a variety of periods, many of which had seen actual combat. This investigation would be less about the location itself but more in tune with any paranormal activity associated to the actual flying machines, which would most likely have seen great emotional trauma and possibly death. This was the focus of the walk around with Medium John Crowdey as he adopted psychometry as his main tool - the art of obtaining paranormal knowledge using a physical object as a focus, otherwise known as object reading. By touching the aircraft he was able to link in with possible physical and emotional connections, and his feelings were that there may well be spirits residing in the Museum that were linked to these.

The opening vigil took place in the Prince Michael of Kent Hall where I began with some glass divination in a room set aside upon the mezzanine level above. I adopted the approach of using blindfolds, letters and numbers to allow a greater control of the experiment as well as to try and gain more specific information. Unusually the glass began to move quite early in the piece, which surprised me considering the group were predominantly self-proclaimed sceptics. When I initially asked out for the glass to indicate if the supposed energy was male or female the glass moved to the number 2. I then asked if there were two spirits in room and only then did the glass move to Yes. When asking to spell out initials it moved to the letters B and Z, and at this point Brian suggested that this could be a possible link to both himself and his partner Zoe. I asked Brian about possible connections and he was able to confirm that two close family members had just recently passed over. I then instructed him to ask a few questions in his head to determine Yes/No answers to which the glass responded, after which I asked Brian to think of a question in his mind that only these spirits would know the answer to. He asked for the middle initial of the male energy and after one inconclusive attempt the glass finally went to the letter C - Brian confirmed this was indeed correct. After a little longer on the glass I decided to split the team up across the main floor where there was a helicopter which they were allowed to sit in, while I also directed some of the team onto the mezzanine level. Unfortunately the remainder of the vigil was quiet and uneventful.

Vigil two took place in the recreation of a 1940's House which was located between the two main exhibition halls on the mezzanine. I began by conducting a séance with 3 of the team members while another sat in a chair which John had earlier identified as having a spiritual connection. For the majority of this period nothing of interest happened, however just as I had exclaimed that the room felt calm and rather flat we noticed that the fire exit light at the top of the staircase began to flicker. I had noticed this also during an initial walk around with Jenny earlier in the night, so I put it down to a faulty bulb. I did then ask for the light to flicker more slowly as a sign that there was something with us in the house, and it did respond for a short time, but I believe this to be purely coincidental. After a brief chat with the other team members we started another linked séance while sat on the floor, and at this point Jen and Michelle felt a connection to a name brought up in their previous vigil, Bernard, and wondered if this might be a link to their grandmother Bernice. Unfortunately there was no physical activity at all during the vigil to suggest anything out of the ordinary. The one and only interesting thing which did occur was a brief high reading on the Canum while Darren was sat in the chair.

The final vigil of the night took place in the Hayward Hall where I stood with the team in the centre of the main floor as we asked out for signs of activity. Apart from a few knocks and bangs from around the room there was really nothing of interest. A few of the team did mention being drawn towards the mezzanine opposite suggesting feelings of a presence, but there was no evidence to support this. The sounds which echoed around us were mainly due to the building settling caused by temperature changes. I then split group across the hall and the mezzanine level and as I was leading a group up the stairs we all heard a strange noise which resembled a rushing sound like plastic sheeting being blown by a short sharp breeze. I investigated the area by the stairs in the hope of finding an obvious explanation, but there was none. Unfortunately with the other 2 groups being within ear shot in the next hanger, and due to the loud creaking of the mezzanine as we walked along it we were simply unable to clearly identify what or where this sound came from. The remainder of the vigil was quiet and uneventful and our night at the Museum came to an end. It was an interesting night again, full of suggestions of activity but like so many investigations nothing of substance. The other vigils had also brought little success, although one team member did insist that he had heard a growl in his ear while in the Prince Michael of Kent Hall and others also suggested the presence of cold spots and the occasional shadow - but with an area so large and difficult to control those kinds of experiences are to be expected.
