Welcome
to Wings
WWII Remembrance Museum
Grand re-opening Saturday 20th / Sunday 21st March 2010
The Wings
Museum is a totally voluntary
organization run by dedicated volunteers
and as such is a registered
charity. The Museum is housed
in an a large hangar close to RAF Station Redhill which saw active service throughout
World War Two.
Originally the museum was based on Redhill Aerodrome but vacated in 2008 due to increasing commercial pressure and possible redevelopement plans of the aerodrome. We are still very much dedicated
to remembering and recording the history
of Redhill Aerodrome and as such have a dedicated display within the museum.
We also display an abundance of original memorabilia representing a wealth of "display themes" including: HomeFront, RAFFighterCommand, Blitz, Battle of Britian, RAF Bomber Command, US 8th Air Force, Luftwaffe, Russian Front, D-Day (the second front) and much much more.
The Wings
Museum is a growing &
very much active museum. Through the
use of informative displays we aim
to educate future generations of the
sacrifices made by our gallant armed
forces during World War Two in order
to preserve the peace we all benefit
from today. It is our goal to ensure
that their memory is not lost through
the passage of time and that their
courage and spirit lives on to inspire us all!
We hope you enjoy
the site.

what
we do....
