What a great little museum - and it doesn't get any support from British aircraft companies! They even have to buy planes from abroad to show what great aircraft we used to build. And a real storehouse of models of just about everything mechanical - do go and support these people!

We called in hear to kill an hour and my daughter was not so keen, it was ok, loads of planes with great information. What made the day and the whole experience which will live with me forever was when we climbed into the Vulcan bomber and were given a tour from a man who had flown in this plane... More

Firstly let me tell you what this isn't - it isn't a large scale museum on the scale of Duxford, Hendon and Cosford - you would struggle to spend more than a couple of hours here - it isn't a brand spanking new facility - some of the buildings are relatively old What it is - is an absolutely brilliant...

It's essentially a hangar and a field full of old restored jet engined aircraft (and a few propellor driven ones too). Helpful staff as well as the opportunity to go into a couple of cockpits. Don't expect it to take all day - hour and a half should do it. Also a very good collection of air fix kits to... More

Can do with better local signs for visitors to find the place. Friendly staff to take you around the aircrafts. Nice tea room for refreshments.

Not a modern building or facilities, but had a wide range of very interesting planes and helicopters such as the MI-24 and Vulcan. I highly advise getting a guide to show you round the interior of particular planes of interest as he is highly knowledgeable in all aspects of the planes.

Look for a reasonably local place to visit on 'Boys Day Out' - sort of last of summer wine group - found this advertised in article in Radio Times! Otherwise never heard of it. Cold day but so much to see both inside the hangers & outside in the static display area. Highlight was getting up inside the V-Bomber &... More

Go and support the volunteers that run this place by just going there. It has some really interesting aircraft including the Vulcan which you can climb into and tons of interesting stuff to look at. Be prepared to spend lots of time there, the catering is pretty good too.

If you have an interest in aviation then this is a must place to visit although it is a difficult place to get to via public transport which is a crying shame.The aircraft are mainly jet however this is to be expected as it is the home of the Sir Frank Whittle Jet Heritage collection as the great man himself...
