Hello, This is a really useful list. I don’t know whether you would want to add the Rifles Museum (http://www.thewardrobe.org.uk/home) and/or the Museum of Army Flying (http://www.armyflying.com/)

Hi
The Wardrobe is on the list. Sorry, the Museum of Army Flying isn’t in Wiltshire. I might extend to other local museums at some time.
