What visitors say
Absolutely brilliant!!! Best Air Museum we’ve been to. So much to see and to get inside the Vulcan was the icing on the cake. Dedicated volunteers, immaculate site and lovely displays of all sorts of aircraft. Brought back some lovely memories of flying

Excellent museum. Great selection of aircraft and memorabilia. Cafe is excellent and reasonably priced with wonderfully cheerful staff. The only reason for not giving it a 5 star is exactly the same reason as all the other aircraft museums I’ve visited – to get the younger generation interested, you need to have aircraft kids and climb on and in. Just get some old, unimportant aircraft cockpits/fuselage’s that no one cares about and make them safe and available for kids to explore. Well worth a visit though, kids or not.

Was a great local experience. £12.50pp to get in which I didn’t think it was bad to be honest. Supports a good cause of keeping the exhibit open and is just a relaxing experience. Would recommend for anyone to go for a trip out even if like me your not that into pains it’s fascinating to see them all in one place and from some of the oldest plains to modern war machines. Brilliant.

Such a fantastic place to learn about history, knew new things and explore all planes and helipcoters. It is run by veterans from the RAF who love to teach and show, and you will learn a lot from them. Do not hesitate to see heritage from the air and history.
