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.

Ease of access to exhibits, so many aircraft open. Very relaxed atmosphere and great quality of information.

Touching the last remaining part of a Sea Hornet was very special

A truly great collection and friendly, enthusiastic volunteers.

I liked the Horsa Glider and ability to go into cockpits

Amazing seeing all the history and the workmanship that goes into the restoration of all the planes. It really is a hands on experience and the volunteers really make this place special. Definitely will return when the new hangar is finished.

You can see the aircraft being restored and interesting exhibits.

We had a great visit and the kids really loved getting in the planes!

I especially liked the planes you could go into which showed how people used to travel by air!! There are lots of curators around who are only too pleased to give information on the history of the various exhibits. Well worth the entrance fee!

I loved being able to get really close to the exhibits.
