Wings Museum - Redhill
 
About the museum collection:
 
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.
 
Come and see original items from the Battle of Britian, the Blitz, the Home Front including the real Dad's Army. Items on display include: Aero Engines, Propellers, Artefacts, Uniforms, Aircraft Parts, Home Front Items and much 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.
 
See sections of a Handley Page Hampden shot down over the Finnish border - read the Canadian Pilots story in his own words about that fateful mission. See the bullet holes which brought the aircraft down.
 
The museum also has a room dedicated to the history of Redhill which inlcudes an extensive photographic display of over 200 images from pre-war to post war.

Ghosts of the Tundra
A unique display entitled 'Ghost of the Tundra' is due to be unvailed sometime in 2008. This will be one of the few places in Europe where visitors can see aircraft which have been recovered from the Russian front where they were shot down over 60 years ago. These rare warbirds will be displayed in crash dia-ramas to represent the actual crash site!
