Made a visit to this very good museum on the 25th June, and was made very welcome by the volunteers and owners.

Lots of artifacts to see with... read more some great stories, of very brave men.

I can highly recommend a visit. It has easy access and is well laid out.

  There is so much to see and explore at this well run museum that you really cannot do it in one visit. We have been twice now and plan... read more to go many more times.

  Smaller than I thought it would be be but still very glad I went along. Lots of exhibits put together with a lot of love and enthusiasm.

I... read more made a joke about shrapnel in the title but it seems like all the personal collections from all the schoolboys collecting this at the time has been utilised which is really touching, Bearing in mind it was life and death for the airmen it seems quite appropriate in a way and the fate of a lot of them is detailed in the exhibit.

Well worth a visit with lots of interesting stuff & excellent value for money .. .

  A significant and somewhat timely reminder of the people who so courageously defended our shores.
A genuinely very interesting place to visit for all ages. would recommend everyone to... read more find this hidden treasure of memories and artefacts

  Lovely collection of interesting artefacts from WWII, cleverly assembled to tell stories from the time. Well-informed volunteers provide a wealth of extra information.

  What a little gem this place is ! we called in on our route doing the London to Brighton classic car rally , don't be put off by the... read more outer appearances ( it's on a farm ) this place is amazing and the volunteer staff are lovely. The exhibits are honest examples of war time . I highly recommend a stroll around this packed museum.

  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.

  Had a great visit to Wings Museum yesterday, lots of Aviation related exhibits, recovered wrecks all with intresting and personal stories to give you the background. Went to see the... read more excavated wreck of my Fathers Lancaster Bomber and was surprised at how much information there was..staff very helpful and friendly.

  Visited this amazing little Gem today, mesmerising and chilling at the same time. Great wor

  Very interesting visit, really brought home to us the reality of WW2 being fought in the skies over this country and Europe. The personal stories of those heroes made it... read more very moving.

  Went here with my father and son. There was a wide variety of artifacts and memorabilia on display to keep us all interested. My son particularly enjoyed sitting in the... read more cockpit of the training plane. The highlights were the remains of the Russian & Japanese aircraft. We all enjoyed the visit - it would be great if a guide book were available!

  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 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.

  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.

  This is a great little aviation / WW2 museum. I enjoyed it even more than I expected too; my three year old daughter enjoyed it too, which was a bonus.

  Very disappointed with this museum. Scruffy and untidy. No logical layout and very little in the way of real aircraft

  The signs to this museum are almost impossible to see,but seeing this slightly eccentric museum is worth the effort.
There seem to be bits and pieces of virtually every aircraft... read more that flew in WW2.Crews equipment and effects,bomb casings,undercarriages, fuselages they are all there to be seen.
Not as good as Tangmere,but still worth the effort.

  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.

  To keep 4 teenagers aged 12-17 interested, this World War 2 based museum is amazing!
Loads of genuine parts, footage, uniforms, information, all painstakingly collected and displayed!
The night visit... read more last eve was eerily brilliant! Air raid sirens and news reports playing in the background as you stroll around the artifacts.
Thoroughly recommend this place.

  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.

  A secret collection of genuine artefacts from aviation history in the sussex countryside. A non profitable display supported my volenteers and donations. Its small scale with basic facilities but... read more for people who are enthusiastic in aviation it’s a gem of real life treasure! Staff are knowledgable and passionate and my 5 and 7 yr old had a lovely hour looking around and sitting in the cockpit of an aircraft. We will definitely be back!

They also had good social distancing awareness and it’s in a light and airy hanger/warehouse.

  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 Viad
