Wings Museum

Behind the scenes at the Wings Museum near Balcombe in West Sussex.

Through the use of informative displays we aim to educate future generations of the sacrifices made by so many during World War Two in order to preserve the peace we all benefit from today. It is our goal to ensure that the memory of those who made such sacrifices are not lost through the passage of time, and that the courage and spirit of those individuals lives on to inspire us all.

Discover real history set among the sounds of the 1940s. Every artefact has its own unique story to tell. Whatever your interest or background you are bound to find something of interest at the Wings Aviation Museum!

In this episode of the podcast, we catch up with Alex Collinson, a volunteer from Bentley Priory Museum in Stanmore who we last spoke to at one of our Merlin Engine Run events last October.

You can find out more about RAF Bentley Priory the Headquarters of Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain, the Memoirs of the Blitz exhibition and Bentley Priory Museum’s opening times on their website, bentleypriorymuseum.org.uk

Of course you can also discover many items and stories about the Blitz and the Home Front back at the Wings Museum. Whilst it would be impossible to say that you would really know how it felt to be there, when you step inside a genuine Anderson shelter, or see how claustrophobic an under table Morrison Shelter would be, your imagination can certainly fill in many of the gaps.
