There's a great deal to take in, so give yourselves plenty of time.

  Visited this amazing little Gem today, mesmerising and chilling at the same time. Great work kev/Dan

  Could not fault the guys who work here! From the second we approached the entrance, we were warmly greeted by a fantastic gentleman! Ended up chatting to him for a... read more quite a while about the origins of the museum and the issue they have of inadequate space, due to the size of their collection!

Once we got into the museum, the warm welcome continued! We were greeted by a team of friendly and it turned out, rather excitable men! Especially when 4 guys in their mid 20’s turn up!

Within 5 mins, we were being offered a little treat! (I won’t spoil it, in case you’re lucky enough to get shown!) One of the gentlemen took time out of his day to go through the average cockpit whilst sat in an open canopy! And with him being a pilot, couldn’t have anyone better to show us, basically, how to fly!

But, they were also understanding enough to leave us to ourselves to some exploring, with the odd explanation about items we may have missed (there’s a tonne of bits for you to go see)

A great exhibition they have is one of the planes used in the Band Of Brothers TV series, which you have the opportunity to go into and explore!

Overall, the volunteers were nothing but outstanding and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip and look forward to the future of the museum with the move to a bigger site!

All the best guys and thank you for such a great trip!

  A little gem of a museum. Beautifully laid out with a great deal of information about every exhibit. Lots if memorabilia - most of it donated by families of WW11... read more RAF pilots and personel. Run by very friendly and knowledgeable volunteers. We had a very enjoyable couple of hours there. Maybe not for very young children but certainly would recommend a visit. It will make you realise how brave these young men were.

  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

  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.

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

  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 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 visit.

  Lovely collection of interesting artefacts from WWII, cleverly assembled to tell stories from the time. Well-informed volunteers provide a wealth of extra information.

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

By chance, I was seeing tge rarest of Pacific War aircraft with a visiting chool party of Japanese students and aeroplane remains from the Asian tundra with a family of Russians, in this museum which encourages a hands on, engaged and wonderfully informative approach. I've sat in cockpits, cocked a Lee Enfield, rung a scramble bell, sat in an Austin 7, heard an air-raid siren, peered through a Spitfire's reflective gunsight, been shown some significant reatorations and so much more.

The volunteers are exactly as they should be - welcoming, helpful, passionate and go above and beyond to make your visit perferct. The potential relocation and upscaling of the museum to new premises is very, very exciting and I look forward to supporting it and all that it stands for, long into the future. The only negative was one of my own-making, that simply being that I had never visited before now. This place is incredible.

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