A secret collection of genuine artefacts from aviation history in the sussex countryside. A non profitable display supported my volenteers and donations. Its small scale with basic facilities but... read more for people who are enthusiastic in aviation it’s a gem of real life treasure! Staff are knowledgable and passionate and my 5 and 7 yr old had a lovely hour looking around and sitting in the cockpit of an aircraft. We will definitely be back!

They also had good social distancing awareness and it’s in a light and airy hanger/warehouse.

  I had seen the museum on a list of things to do in Sussex so we went along with our 12 year old boy. I love all the human stories... read more in war time and was so interested in the countless biographies and heart breaking letters. My son was fascinated by the artefacts especially the planes and having watched Band of brothers it was great to go onto the actual plane used for filming. We were there for about 1.5 hours and kept saying to each other ‘look have you seen this?’. In my boys education so far they haven’t taken one school trip to any war related museum, we had to go here to learn about the bombing of Petworth School and the loss of children’s lives, each of the coffins carried on Canadian troop’s jeeps. Thanks to the enthusiasts to preserve local war history we can bolster our children’s education on the important things they need to know. We went onto to see the Balcombe Viad

  Very disappointed with this museum. Scruffy and untidy. No logical layout and very little in the way of real aircraft

  We visited the Museum yesterday. The star attraction was the start up of a renovated Merlin engine from a crashed Halifax bomber. This was a considerable engineering feat and is... read more a superb example of dedication and hard work - typical of the Museum. What is so delightful is the variability of the collection of items. Of particular interest amongst many items was the fuselage of the Bell P-63 recovered from Russia, the restored Austin 7 and the C-47. As one might expect, the staff were very knowledgeable, full of good humour and unstuffy.

This is a unique collection and well worth

  A really informative and moving collection of artefacts, organised into themed displays. None of the polish of the bigger museums and all the better for it!

  We loved this museum! Fascinating mix of war time objects and salvaged planes. Really interesting stories told of the aircraft and war time and lives tragically ended too soon.

  Made a visit to this very good museum on the 25th June, and was made very welcome by the volunteers and owners.

Lots of artifacts to see with... read more some great stories, of very brave men.

I can highly recommend a visit. It has easy access and is well

  The fascinating way it was laid out. Giving an insight to aircraft from the WW2. Also had a great chat with the person in the radio shack

The... read more staff are volunteers who know what they are caring for. If you read every label you would be here for days. The amount of exhibits in the space available means it is a jumbled treasure trove of military equipment. I noted one of the staff members giving special attention to a young lad who was probably autistic ( my daughter is ) and appeared tuned into the boy's need to see and touch. It’s that attention to sharing their work’ that led my brother in law and me to start sorting out my deceased father in law’s pilots books and shoulder flashes for donation to people who know and care about history.

The museum is in a hangar and can get a tad warm when the sun is out but there was air coming in from the door. The museum has so much in it that you don't know what to look at first.

I would recommend here for anyone with even a slight interest in World war and or aviation.
