Our family visited the Midland Air Museum on Sunday and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It provided us with a captivating journey through the world and a history of aviation development in Europe. We were particularly delighted to discover that the museum is operated by passionate veterans who enthusiastically explained the various electronics and operations within the cockpit. It proved to be a fantastic outing lasting around 2-4 hours, perfect for both children and adults interested in exploring the rich history of aviation. The museum showcases a diverse array of old planes from various countries, all conveniently located in one place.

Astonishing variety of exhibits, everywhere you look there's something novel to grab your attention. You can get up close and pretty much hands on. Climbing up and through the belly of the Vulcan bomber to reach the cockpit for an enlightening talk is special. And the shop, it must be a modellers dream. As is the huge selection of books for a worm like me. This has to be the best museum I've visited in a long time.

Gem of a museum with some incredible exhibits, quite a few 1 of 1 or 1 of 2 on display in the world. Able to climb into many cockpits including the Vulcan and was talked through two of them by obviously passionate and enthusiastic staff. This visit was 06/04/24, so if you were one of those guys, thank you! Some of the exhibits and airframes are showing their age but this speaks more to the gargantuan task of maintaining such things.

My hubby had been talking about visiting this place for ages. I myself was taken aback at the amount of pieces and information on display. Out doors is crammed with planes and trucks and is great for exploring. Hubby immediately took off for the Vulcan, where he got a detailed tour from a guide. He was so happy. Inside is just crammed full of detailed information and artifacts. Everywhere you look there is something to see with a really awesome backstory. It's a large museum and has something for all ages. It's well priced and the shop is full of goodies. The staff are lovely. Welcoming and helpful. Excellent place to visit. Really interesting.

Lovely museum, definitely lots to see, I went midweek just after 10am as it was opening so it was nice and empty. There are lots of picnic benches outside by the planes alternatively there is the cafe inside. Great atmosphere, floor layout was easy enough to follow. There are photo opportunities if you want to sit inside one of the planes. Plenty of things to see and do.
