Small, but perfectly interesting.

Spent 90 mins here, and their ww2 artefact collection is very impressive.

I particularly liked the air raid shelter.

There is even a fuselage from a plane that was uses in the film Band Of Brothers.

A very informative and interesting couple of hours there will amaze you.

  Second visit to this amazing museum and collection of ww2 artefacts. Loved going inside the Dakota and the fact it was a prop from Band of Brothers is amazing. ... read more /> So much to see and learn. Love this museum.

  A building full of STUFF. All of which has obviously been lovingly curated as every oily bit of metal and every odd thing has been researched, identified and explained. The... read more staff are volunteers who know what they are caring for. If you read every label you would be here for days. The amount of exhibits in the space available means it is a jumbled treasure trove of military equipment. I noted one of the staff members giving special attention to a young lad who was probably autistic ( my daughter is ) and appeared tuned into the boy's need to see and touch. It’s that attention to sharing their work’ that led my brother in law and me to start sorting out my deceased father in law’s pilots books and shoulder flashes for donation to people who know and care about history.

  What a fantastic find! A small yet immersive experience, packed with hundreds of rare, original helmets, uniforms, and field gear from World War II. The experience is complete with... read more first-hand personal narratives and accounts in a variety of formats, including diaries, memoirs, journals, and non-fictional accounts. You really get a feel for the events of the war. The staff were warm, friendly, and great with the kids. Well done.

  Excellent small museum. The staff are very happy to share some memories and information about the planes, they're also eager to run interactive exhibits such as cockpit tours and radio/... read more morse code demonstrations.

  This is a fascinating museum, with exhibits displayed as they were found, not repaired. It puts another aspect on the awful times of war.
A very interesting exhibit is photos... read more and drawings from one of the camps. They are not pleasant to look at, considering the subject matter, but look at them we must, to understand a little what went on.
Lovely volunteers to chat to too.

A must visit for everyone that respects the sacrifice made by those young men in the quest for our peace.

  Such a lovely place to visit. My kids loved the stories and interaction with staff. It is not massive but we spent two hours having lot

  I had seen the museum on a list of things to do in Sussex so we went along with our 12 year old boy. I love all the human stories... read more in war time and was so interested in the countless biographies and heart breaking letters. My son was fascinated by the artefacts especially the planes and having watched Band of brothers it was great to go onto the actual plane used for filming. We were there for about 1.5 hours and kept saying to each other ‘look have you seen this?’. In my boys education so far they haven’t taken one school trip to any war related museum, we had to go here to learn about the bombing of Petworth School and the loss of children’s lives, each of the coffins carried on Canadian troop’s jeeps. Thanks to the enthusiasts to preserve local war history we can bolster our children’s education on the important things they need to know. We went onto to see the Balcombe Viaduct after

  I had a great time visiting here. There is lots to see from WW2, from restored cockpit displays to bomb disposal equipment and artifact from exhumed wrecks and relics from... read more shot down aircraft throughout the war from all sides.

There are also interesting stories regarding the displays.

The Dakota is from tv series Band of Brothers which you can go inside. You can also sit inside cockpit of Chipmunk (it's a bit tight!) 🙂

This is a good place for any child or adult with an interest in WW2 or aircraft.

The owners were warm and friendly and a tea and coffee machine on site!

  a rainy winter Sunday seemed the perfect excuse to visit somewhere we had often passed signs to but never visited and I am very glad we did. very helpful and... read more knowledgeable staff, fascinating exhibits, crashed aircraft might seem a bit morbid but the human story told with each display gives a very real and moving experience of what ww2 was really like to live through. wheelchair access was ok, there is access available via the farm next door to avoid the steep entrance path.

  The fascinating way it was laid out. Giving an insight to aircraft from the WW2. Also had a great chat with the person in the radio shack

  A really informative and moving collection of artefacts, organised into themed displays. None of the polish of the bigger museums and all the better for it!

  I have visited this museum a couple of times now and always find it fascinating. There is so much to see and learn mostly focused on WW11. They are restoring,... read more improving and changing much at each visit. They really need a new premises and more space to display their large collection properly. A must for WW11 aviation enthusiasts with rare aircraft albeit not yet restored but displayed as found in the field of conflict. So much to read and learn with genuine artefacts to display the stories of history.
The volunteers are also very welcoming and will take the time to relate their extensive knowledge of the exhibits and history. Attached to the museum is a separate display of historic aircraft and military radios, fascinating. Good value for money.

  In an unassuming farm barn, in the middle of the rolling Sussex countryside, lies an absolute gem of a place, which filled up my Sunday beautifully. This is a quite... read more staggering collection of 12,000+ artefacts and effects from the Second World War. By chance, I was seeing tge rarest of Pacific War aircraft with a visiting chool party of Japanese students and aeroplane remains from the Asian tundra with a family of Russians, in this museum which encourages a hands on, engaged and wonderfully informative approach. I've sat in cockpits, cocked a Lee Enfield, rung a scramble bell, sat in an Austin 7, heard an air-raid siren, peered through a Spitfire's reflective gunsight, been shown some significant reatorations and so much more.

The volunteers are exactly as they should be - welcoming, helpful, passionate and go above and beyond to make your visit perferct. The potential relocation and upscaling of the museum to new premises is very, very exciting and I look forward to supporting it and all that it stands for, long into the future. The only negative was one of my own-making, that simply being that I had never visited before now. This place is incredible.

  We visited the Museum yesterday. The star attraction was the start up of a renovated Merlin engine from a crashed Halifax bomber. This was a considerable engineering feat and is... read more a superb example of dedication and hard work - typical of the Museum. What is so delightful is the variability of the collection of items. Of particular interest amongst many items was the fuselage of the Bell P-63 recovered from Russia, the restored Austin 7 and the C-47. As one might expect, the staff were very knowledgeable, full of good humour and unstuffy.

This is a unique collection and well worth

  amazing experience, lots to look at and a wide variety of cool items salvaged from ww2, came here with my dad for father's day/ his birthday and was not disappointed

  We had often driven past this museum so decided to visit. It was really interesting and the 2 volunteers on duty were really friendly and knowledgeable. There are so many... read more artefacts including from planes that were shot down or crashed and these have come from various countries. There is also a section on the home guard and various life stories of different service men. If you are even a little bit interested in the 2nd world war this is definitely a place you should visit. The only thing I would say is if you visit in the winter wrap up warm as the museum is in an outbuilding and there is no heating so it was a bit cold.
