FLEET AIR ARM MUSEUM
A world class aviation attraction at the heart of a major naval airbase.
Experience the exciting development of Britain's Flying Navy from the Sopwith Pup to Sea Harrier. Alive and immediate, in a succession of superb quality exhibits.
More than 40 aircraft on view. A unique collection of weaponry, uniforms, photographs, medals and memorabilia. Stunning and spectacular displays, including World Wars I and II; Kamikaze; Wrens; Korea; Falklands and Gulf Campaigns; and the evolution of the Harrier Jump Jet.
Hands-on access makes you part of the action and learning is easy. Stroll through Concorde 002 (the British prototype), or get the thrill of navy flying in the Super X Flight Simulator.
Relish the prospect of the ultimate Carrier Experience. The opportunity to stand on the vast flight deck of a magnificent navy aircraft carrier. Faithfully and uniquely simulated on land. Complete with 12 actual carrier-borne aircraft.
Absorb the sights, smells and sounds of it. Experience the dramatic launch of aircraft on a mission of mercy. Trace the history of these great ships right up to their vital role in the Falklands conflict, where the remarkable Sea Harrier won its spurs as a combat aircraft.
The museum is on the airfield. Allow 3 - 4 hours to see the museum.
