The sort of place that you would need to return to as it is difficult to take it all in during a single visit.

Places to sit outside (if the weather is nice), light refreshments and good w.c. facilities.

What's not to like?

  Very disappointed with this museum. Scruffy and untidy. No logical layout and very little in the way of real aircraft

  We visited the Museum yesterday. The star attraction was the start up of a renovated Merlin engine from a crashed Halifax bomber. This was a considerable engineering feat and is... read more a superb example of dedication and hard work - typical of the Museum. What is so delightful is the variability of the collection of items. Of particular interest amongst many items was the fuselage of the Bell P-63 recovered from Russia, the restored Austin 7 and the C-47. As one might expect, the staff were very knowledgeable, full of good humour and unstuffy.

This is a unique collection and well worth a visit.

  Lovely collection of interesting artefacts from WWII, cleverly assembled to tell stories from the time. Well-informed volunteers provide a wealth of extra information.

Loads of genuine parts, footage, uniforms, information, all painstakingly collected and displayed!

There are also interesting stories regarding the displays.

The Dakota is from tv series Band of Brothers which you can go inside. You can also sit inside cockpit of Chipmunk (it's a bit tight!) 🙂

This is a good place for any child or adult with an interest in WW2 or aircraft.

The owners were warm and friendly and a tea and coffee machine on site!

  We had passed the sign to the Wings museum on several occasions & always wondered what was there so we decided to take the time to find out.

Lots of interesting artefacts relating to the many bombers of WWII inc. German planes - Heinkel, Fortress, Junkers, Lancaster, Wellington etc. etc. Fascinating stories relating to the pilots who flew the aircraft too, some as young as 19 or 20! It's only a relatively small attraction so no cafe on site but a drinks machine en route if you need one or visit Balcombe village after for lunch or tea & cake.

The gentlemen who was running it yesterday was very knowledgeable & approachable if we'd any questions. We took our time & spent 2 1/2 hours there but it could be done much quicker if you don't have that much time to spare.

Great for singles, groups or families with older children. They are grateful for donations should you have any interesting memorabilia relating to WWII. They are also looking for volunteers.

Plenty of parking. Hand sanitiser on arrival, we gave our contact details for track & trace & had to wear our masks all the time but we felt very safe visiting. They accept cash or credit card & a discount for over 60's. Worth a visit so take the time to support & explore this interesting attraction.

  Excellent small museum. The staff are very happy to share some memories and information about the planes, they're also eager to run interactive exhibits such as cockpit tours and radio/... read more morse code demonstrations.

Maybe not for very young children but certainly would recommend a visit. It will make you realise how brave these young men were.

A must for WW11 aviation enthusiasts with rare aircraft albeit not yet restored but displayed as found in the field of conflict. So much to read and learn with genuine artefacts to display the stories of history.
The volunteers are also very welcoming and will take the time to relate their extensive knowledge of the exhibits and history. Attached to the museum is a separate display of historic aircraft and military radios, fascinating. Good value for money.

We plan to go back again when the radio shack is open.
