The Wings Museum
is housed in an original World War Two hanger
located on the sight of former RAF
Redhill in Surrey.
The Wings Museum provides
a fascinating in-sight into life during World
War Two. Each artefact or item of memorabilia
tells it`s own unique story set along side
the sounds and music of the times. History
appears to come alive in this unique nostalgic
experience.

the Blitz, the Home
Front including the real Dad's
Army. Items on display include: Aero
Engines, Propellers, Artefacts, Uniforms,

more!
Read about real events and
how our work can still touch the hearts of
people today. Learn about the memorials which
have been erected by the Wings Museum in Europe
on behalf of families of air crew. There are
also displays of aircraft excavations not
only from the UK but also from Europe.
