Tickets can be purchased in advance for the same prices, this is usually unneccessary, but will speed things up on busy days. If you do pay in advance just show your on-line ticket (on your phone is fine) at the gate where they will issue a wristband for the day.  Otherwise please pay in the shop and we will supply a wristband.

General

A visit to the museum will take anything between a couple of hours to a few days depending on your interest in aviation. We have around 65 aircraft on display, some outside, some in. We also have many artefacts and photographs on display as well as some aviation archeology exhibits. There are also exhibits that you can try out for yourselves.

The shop contains a wide variety of items, with a wide range of prices. The NAAFI has a range of snacks and hot and cold drinks available.
