WELLESBOURNE MOUNTFORD WARTIME MUSEUM
Situated on the west side of the airfield, the museum is housed in the restored Battle Headquarters. The story of the bomber command with its Wellingtons is told in great detail. Wellesbourne was an active and well-known Bomber Command operational training unit during the Second World War. There are various aircraft in different stages of restoration, including a Percival P.56 Provost T.1, De Havilland D.H.110 Sea Vixen FAW.2 (FAW.1) and De Havilland D.H.115 Vampire T.11. There is also an original Avro Vulcan bomber XM-655, in largely working order and under active restoration.
The museum is run by a members club. Various pictures and other items are available for purchase to help finance the restoration of the aircraft. The museum organises occasional open days during the year when some of the aircraft are tested on the runway at 100% engine power.
