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.

  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!

  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

Very enjoyable visit.

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

  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 lots of fun.

  Very much enjoyed our second visit to the Wings Museum. There is so much to see and take in that it merits a second trip.

We plan to go back again when the radio shack is open.

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

  We loved this museum! Fascinating mix of war time objects and salvaged planes. Really interesting stories told of the aircraft and war time and lives tragically ended too soon.

  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.

  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!

  Great little spot tucked away in an unsuspecting area. Merlin engine run is a must-see (hear) if you can make one of these dates. Only thing I'd like more is... read more a physical ticket... the receipt isn't much of a memento.

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.

Ended up chatting to him for a... read more quite a while about the origins of the museum and the issue they have of inadequate space, due to the size of their collection!

Once we got into the museum, the warm welcome continued! We were greeted by a team of friendly and it turned out, rather excitable men! Especially when 4 guys in their mid 20’s turn up!

Within 5 mins, we were being offered a little treat! (I won’t spoil it, in case you’re lucky enough to get shown!) One of the gentlemen took time out of his day to go through the average cockpit whilst sat in an open canopy! And with him being a pilot, couldn’t have anyone better to show us, basically, how to fly!

But, they were also understanding enough to leave us to ourselves to some exploring, with the odd explanation about items we may have missed (there’s a tonne of bits for you to go see)

A great exhibition they have is one of the planes used in the Band Of Brothers TV series, which you have the opportunity to go into and explore!

Overall, the volunteers were nothing but outstanding and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip and look forward to the future of the museum with the move to a bigger site!

All the best guys and thank you for such a great trip!

  My partner and I have spoken for years about visiting “Wings”, as we live in the vicinity.

So, we got there on a warm and sunny morning. We... read more were almost the only people there, but paid our entry fee of £8.00 each, and went in.

I guess this museum is really about WW2 Memorabilia, and for enthusiasts for this sort of exhibition.

We do get that almost everything that we saw was connected with the supreme sacrifice by many many servicemen, and therefore this review recognises the passion of the individuals who have been instrumental in creating it. However, our expectations were for a Historical Museum displaying WW2 aircraft, rather than just artefacts from sites of shot down aircraft.

If I’d known what we would actually see, I could have made a better and more informed choice, but I do feel that the website wasn’t fully accurate in providing information on the actual content.

So, all in all our experience was a little disappointing. However I can understand that it has quite a specialised appeal for certain people, and in particular, those who are passionate enthusiasts. And, I think more needs to be done to provide

Finally, I must say that it was nevertheless of interest and it increased our knowledge, but our expectations were for rather more exhibits of whole aircraft.

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.

  Visited with a group of friends all of whom are WW2 reenactors. Great visit, so much to see. Friendly staff who made us feel very welcome. Definitely worth a visit.

The guys who were volunteering were full of knowledge and couldn't have been more helpful. They let our son sit in a cockpit and were happy to help out. During the week, the radio shack is open, where you can come down and use the old 2 way radios.
This really is a hidden gem and ideal for anyone who is interested in history or for kids learning about WW2 at school
