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: Home Front, RAF Fighter Command, 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.
