Visit websiteFantastic little aircraft museum, completely free to enter, although donations are welcome. I recommend joining the Avro Vulcan and Hawker Siddeley Trident guided tours delivered by absolutely amazing and knowledgeable staff. You can also have a peek into a workshop to see how they renovate aircraft. The museum is on one level, accessible except aircraft tours, with sufficient, free parking.
I had known of this museum for many years and finally got to visit it, and I wasn't disappointed. Housed in a smart, relatively small modern building, the museum is like a Tardis as there is so much to see once inside. Very well laid out and with plenty of information on the items on display, there is lots to take in and I will be making a return visit or two to soak it all up. The staff, who are all volunteers, were extremely helpful and welcoming and the cafe, though small, has enough on offer to cater for light bites with indoor and outdoor seating. As promoted by the museum it is free to visit and relies upon donations to survive so I feel well worth a small consideration for all the hard work that has been put into this collection. Highly recommended.
All the Volunteers were so friendly and helpful, they had great knowledge to share too. A wonderful family friendly museum, we will certainly be back again!
A little gem. This 'small but perfectly formed' museum is a must for jet aeroplane enthusiasts old and young. It is a vibrant and fascinating record of the history of jet aviation in the local area and on the world stage. The keen and helpful volunteers help to bring the experience to life and are on hand to answer questions and assist visitors. It is free to enter (with donations gratefully appreciated) and the little café provides welcome hot drinks and various snacks on a colder day. Note: open Saturday and Sunday only.
Nice and immersive volunteer run museum next to Gloucestershire Airport. I honestly hadn't previously heard about this treasure and was pleasantly surprised and impressed. The premises were clean, well organised and various, well curated airframes- with thoughtfully researched placards. My personal favourites were the Hawker Sisley Trident and Avro Vulcan narrated tours. All the volunteers were also very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Overall, will definitely recommend.
