Welcome to the Wings Museum

Aviation Museum in Surrey

Redhill Aerodrome - Surrey - England

Located on the site of RAF Redhill
 

Next Opening: Saturday 11th Oct 2008 10am - 5pm

 

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 original 1930's Hangar at former RAF Station Redhill which saw active service throughout World War Two with many aircraft types being based here including: Miles Magisters, Fairy Battles, Bristol Blenhiems, Bristol Beaufighters, Supermarine Spitfires, Hawker Hurricanes, Hawker Typhoons, North American Mustangs and many more.

We are dedicated to remembering and recording the history of Redhill Aerodrome and to promote Redhill Aerodrome as a place of interest within the local community and further a field.

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.

If you have ANY information or know someone who served at Redhill Aerodrome or have any WW2 memorabilia, we invite you to please get in touch - We need your help!

We hope you enjoy this site.
