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.

Very relaxed atmosphere and great quality of information.

It’s great to have largely unrestricted access throughout the museum and exhibits.

We had a lovely day out. We really enjoyed all of the brilliant exhibits!

I liked the Horsa Glider.

The guide in Hangar E was very informative and helpful.

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.

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!

You can see the aircraft being restored and interesting exhibits.

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