Displays

Permanent Display

From 2014, the VMGCRA has a permanent display space that can be visited by special arrangement. More details are available here.

Static Displays and Talks

Static displays of the collection, for a specific audience or a wide range of people, provide the opportunity to see the items in a more ‘regular’ museum-type context, with the benefit of hands-on the items. This can provide more information and the opportunity to explain more about how the items work from a technical, rather than a practical, point-of-view. It is also possible to do talks and presentations on the use of the Vickers.

Living History

In the past, as part of the VMGCRA, the Emma Gees have provided displays of the Vickers MG in a historical context independently and as part of a wider group of individuals or associations. However at present the collection no longer provides living history or reenactment displays as we predominantly concentrate on delivering static displays, talks and, where possible, firing demonstrations.

The below pages show some photos of our earlier living history displays for interest only. Few of the photos are the property of the VMGCRA and where they are sourced from elsewhere, the link is shown below the photo to the original source and where, often, you can find more of the photos of the show. If a link is not shown, it means the original source cannot be located – if this is your photo, please contact using the link on the contents page.

Loans

Given the breadth of the VMGCRA collection, loans of items not readily required are available to established and reputable locations that can offer appropriate levels of security and responsibility.
