Collectables, Models, DVD's, Videos, Books, Gifts, Clothing & More (see shop page)

There are hundreds of items on display including aircraft parts and personal effects recovered from our Ministry of Defence licensed 'digs' (see our digs page). All displays are easy to follow and well laid out with histories of the aircraft and aircrew where known.

The whole museum site is accessible by less able bodied people and wheelchair users (some gravelled & grassed areas), there are on site toilet facilities and an education room for pre-planned large parties.
If you feel you may have access problems please park by aircraft near to main building and ask staff for assistance, we will be more than happy to help.
