Testimonials
Here is what our visitors have to say
Visited the museum today, I’ve not been for a while and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of work that has gone on in the museum with the layout of the main hanger, great aircraft on display from various eras and really useful informational boards and pictures. The staff were very friendly and helpful, opening doors, as I was using my mobility scooter, and in particular Adam at the entrance, he was of a great help answering a question I had about the Mosquito.
If you are interested in the history of aviation in the UK then this is an absolute must visit place. It follows the history of the Dr Havilland family’s passion for flying developing into manufacturing their own airplanes.
