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 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 20s turn up! Within 5 mins, we were being offered a little treat! (I wont spoil it, in case youre 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, couldnt 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 (theres 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!

Visited the museum today whilst visiting from up North, the lady and gentleman working there today were lovely and very helpful. The gentleman offered us a tour at the beginning with lots of interesting information. There are lots of incredible artifices and we wiill definitely visit again if we are down here. Its certainly worth a visit if youre in the area.
