Excellent small museum. The staff are very happy to share some memories and information about the planes, they're also eager to run interactive exhibits such as cockpit tours and radio/... read more morse code demonstrations.

  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 Viaduct after

  Such a lovely place to visit. My kids loved the stories and interaction with staff. It is not massive but we spent two hours having lots of fun.

  Brilliant, hidden away, but welcoming and teaming with exhibits. All volunteer staff that are enthusiasts, engaging, informative and helpful. This active museum is continuingly developing and keen for memories, exhibits... read more and helpers. A must visit for everyone that respects the sacrifice made by those young men in the quest for our peace.

  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.

  Had a great visit to Wings Museum yesterday, lots of Aviation related exhibits, recovered wrecks all with intresting and personal stories to give you the background. Went to see the... read more excavated wreck of my Fathers Lancaster Bomber and was surprised at how much information there was..staff very helpful and friendly.

  Thank you to Daniel and his co-workers for an excellent guided tour of this fascinating museum. Lots of exhibits, but not too many, making the tour of the museum easy... read more on the feet !

  Very interesting visit, really brought home to us the reality of WW2 being fought in the skies over this country and Europe. The personal stories of those heroes made it... read more very moving.

  Not a great deal to see but military enthusiast would no doubt find much of interest but appears to be a lot more exhibits yet to be shown and not... read more ready yet

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

  Very good wartime exhibits with some excellent partial aircraft restorations.
Interesting radio section.
Very knowledgeable and friendly volunteer staff.

  amazing experience, lots to look at and a wide variety of cool items salvaged from ww2, came here with my dad for father's day/ his birthday and was not disappointed

  Visited this amazing little Gem today, mesmerising and chilling at the same time. Great wor

  I went today with my son ( loves war/aviation stuff ) my dad ( also an aviation enthusiast ) and my mum. Whilst I popped to the toilets the kind... read more gentlemen were sorting out a dodgy wheel on my dad's walker. 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. There's a great array of war artifacts and it's quite touching seeing some of the stories. The gentleman were very helpful and informative. I would recommend here for anyone with even a slight interest in World war and or aviation.

  Such a wonderful museum, so much to see and learn. Every volunteer was so helpful, eager and informative, really lovely to have been shown some special treasurers and then found... read more out about them from their knowledge. My lad even got to try some of the items including holding a gun, wearing a hat & parachute. He loved his visit. Thank yo

  Had a great time here, so much to see from WW2. Lots of local things that happened during the war. The Dakota from tv series Band of Brothers was incredible,... read more which you can go inside and can sit inside cockpit of Chipmunk. Highly recommend.

  Smaller than I thought it would be be but still very glad I went along. Lots of exhibits put together with a lot of love and enthusiasm.

I... read more made a joke about shrapnel in the title but it seems like all the personal collections from all the schoolboys collecting this at the time has been utilised which is really touching, Bearing in mind it was life and death for the airmen it seems quite appropriate in a way and the fate of a lot of them is detailed in the exhibit.

Well worth a visit with lots of interesting stuff & excellent value for mo

  I had a great time visiting here. There is lots to see from WW2, from restored cockpit displays to bomb disposal equipment and artifact from exhumed wrecks and relics from... read more shot down aircraft throughout the war from all sides.

There are also interesting stories regarding the displays.

The Dakota is from tv series Band of Brothers which you can go inside. You can also sit inside cockpit of Chipmunk (it's a bit tight!) 🙂

This is a good place for any child or adult with an interest in WW2 or aircraft.

The owners were warm and friendly and a tea and coffee machine on site!

  A hidden jem of a place, a small friendly museum packed full of stuff, well worth the money. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the history of WW2... read more Avaiation. Will certainly return again and again

  To keep 4 teenagers aged 12-17 interested, this World War 2 based museum is amazing!
Loads of genuine parts, footage, uniforms, information, all painstakingly collected and displayed!
The night visit... read more last eve was eerily brilliant! Air raid sirens and news reports playing in the background as you stroll around the artifacts.
Thoroughly recommend this place.

  A building full of STUFF. All of which has obviously been lovingly curated as every oily bit of metal and every odd thing has been researched, identified and explained. 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.

  Was very interesting ended up talking to 2 very nice volunteers who gave me and my friend some very interesting history about all the artifacts in the building... read more and about how the museu

  My partner and I have spoken for years about visiting “Wings”, as we live in the vicinity.

So, we got there on a warm and sunny morning. We... read more were almost the only people there, but paid our entry fee of £8.00 each, and went in.

I guess this museum is really about WW2 Memorabilia, and for enthusiasts for this sort of exhibition.

We do get that almost everything that we saw was connected with the supreme sacrifice by many many servicemen, and therefore this review recognises the passion of the individuals who have been instrumental in creating it. However, our expectations were for a Historical Museum displaying WW2 aircraft, rather than just artefacts from sites of shot down aircraft.

If I’d known what we would actually see, I could have made a better and more informed choice, but I do feel that the website wasn’t fully accurate in providing information on the actual content.

So, all in all our experience was a little disappointing. However I can understand that it has quite a specialised appeal for certain people, and in particular, those who are passionate enthusiasts. And, I think more needs to be done to provide

Finally, I must say that it was nevertheless of interest and it increased our knowledge, but our expectations were for rather more exhibits of whole aircraft.

  We visited with our 2 grandchildren aged 11 and 10, and they had such a lovely time. All the staff were very informative, and a big thank you to... read more Jeff for giving the children a taste of carrying a heavy parachute, and the experience of jumping out of the back of the plane. Money well spent, and we would definitely recommend a visit. Tha

  My boys loved it. Fascinating artifacts. Very welcoming man who shared his passion and made us very interested too

  I would if they had been open as advertised on their website and on the road signs they had put up on the roads and outside the museum saying it... read more was open today 18th September 2022.
It was locked up with the sign outside saying open today. When we were there today there were 2 other cars there waiting to go and visit. One of them phoned to be told by a recorded message it was open today.

What an appalling way to run a museum.
