Vintage planes & aviation artifacts, plus guided cockpit tours of jet fighters & an airliner.
It's not very big but packed full of aviation history with a few items to view outside. Try the bombing run, which emulates the Falklands war. The attendants were polite and well informed about the exhibitions on the show. There was a special exhibition on the day we visited with period correct uniformed re-enactors available to answer any questions. The carpark outside is free. There was a small admission fee or a donation into the box on entry.
Fantastic Museum to visit if you are in the area, friendly staff and great exhibits. A look into the past and how it all started with the Gloster Aircraft Company.
Visited today and it was amazing, the fact that you can land and park your plane in front of the museum is a nice plus, knowledgeable volunteers including former pilot of aircraft on display is truly unique, everyone here was kind and helpful, what's more, the lemon cake at the cafe was top ! Book your ticket to the vulcan cockpit tour, its truly immersive in the cold War era
Visited yesterday as part of an organised visit by the Boundless Aviation section. Another excellent museum solely run by volunteers, everyone was extremely knowledgeable. Loved the Trident exhibit which brought back good memories from my youth and the tour of the workshop, which was very poignant.
Great! Small but beautifully put together aviation museum, staffed by volunteers who clearly love what they do. Free entry but it really deserves a generous donation. Any aviation buff keen on ww2 and post war jets will be in their element here. Highly recommended. Open weekends only.
So I went to the Jet age museum based at Staverton airport today. I was pleasantly surprised at how amazing it was. Firstly it's free entry but you can leave a donation and please please do because they really deserve it. When I entered I was greeted by some really nice volunteers that help run the place who are knowledgable and are really easy to chat to. They also have all the right facilities for whoever is going. Toilets as you walk in plus a really nice cafe where you get some really nice and reasonably priced snacks and drinks. We enjoyed going around the museum as they had many interesting exhibits to see plus you can even get a tour of two of the plane where you can learn about the aircraft's and sit in the pilots seat. This is a great place to bring the family as their is plenty for everyone to enjoy. They only open the weekends but I have had a great day out and will be back soon. Thank you for a great day.
