Dalek Invasion 2013 at Fleet Air Arm Museum
Dr Who's arch enemies set to invade RNAS Yeovilton on 10th and 11th August. ...
50 years after the Daleks were first seen on our TV screens they are planning a terrifying return to the Fleet Air Arm Museum on 10th and 11th August. Together with their evil accomplices Davros, Miss Hartigan, Cybermen, Ice Warriors, Pig Slave, Weeping Angel and many more, this year’s visitation will feature some new family activities and entertainment including the ever-popular Audience with the Daleks
The event will take place throughout three Halls of the Fleet Air Arm Museum with the performances taking place in front of a dramatic new Space Station set under Concorde. This year’s Dalek Invasion will also see the return of an original 1960’s Dalek. The Dalek is the most complete surviving example of a 1960’s Dr Who TV Series Dalek in existence. Valued at £50,000, it was featured in virtually every episode from 1963 to 1968 as the enemy of the first and second Doctors - William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton. It was probably the first Dalek to speak, uttering the chilling command “You will move ahead of us and follow my directions!”
To add to the fun (and terror) of the day, children are encouraged to wear Sci- Fi Fancy Dress. Throughout the day there will be a variety of family activities plus a short stage play, entitled “The Master Strikes Back” , an obstacle race and an Audience with the Daleks when you can ask the more friendly Daleks the questions on everybody’s mind such as, “How do you tell the difference between boy and girl Daleks?” In addition, Dr Who traders and celebrities will add to the occasion. Doors will open to the public from 10.00am and normal museum entry prices will apply.
