Great to visit when there is good weather, lots of open space with planes taking off and landing.. a nice cafe that serves hot and cold drinks and food as well as snacks. There are some skydiving events available as well as flying lessons. Although we were just here to see some of the old planes and the museum. All the staff here are so friendly and the volunteers that work in the museum are so knowledgeable and always willing to answer questions and give out as much information as they can. When we were there they had some old cars parked up as well. Was so interesting with so much to see. They do have special events on their website as well. I’m sure those would be even more fun!

Visited the museum on Saturday, 8th June 2024. A very interesting small museum, displaying many parts recovered from planes that crashed in WW2. Very well displayed, with clear and concise details relating to each plane. A very well laid out, interesting museum. The highlight for me was the Fieseler Fi 103R, a piloted version of the WW2 German V1 Flying Bomb. There is a small shop in the museum. Entrance fee was £3 for adults, £1 for concessions. Excellent value!

Wonderful museum full of interesting and unusual items. Staff are happy and helpful. Ideal museum to look around and then head to the airfield where there is usually something happening.

Great day at Headcorn aerodrome and the museum sits a few steps away from the cafe. Loved watching the Spitfire taking off as well as the wing walking punters strapped to the aerobatic biplane flights!
