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.

  Really interesting museum volunteers who were more than happy to talk about the displays. Lots of artefacts although no complete aircraft as all come from crash sites. It... read more really is different and fascinating.

Very enjoyable visit.

  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.

  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 hidden jem of a place, a small friendly museum packed full of stuff, well worth the money. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the history of WW2... read more Avaiation. Will certainly return again and again

  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

  This a thoroughly absorbing and interesting place to visit.
There's a great deal to take in, so give yourselves plenty of time.
My Wife was very taken with the navigation... read more map in the Dakota.
Will recommend to all!

  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 a visit.

  This museum while small is of great interest to ww2 enthusiasts and aircraft fans alike, unlike the sterile world of the more main stream museums, wings has managed to capture... read more the history of ww2 in a fascinating way. A must not miss visit. The guys that help run the museum are happy helpful and very experienced. Feel immersed in the history and climb on board a real dc3 from ww2 and a movie prop from band of brothers!! Well done guys fan bloody tastic!

  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

  Great little museum. It doesn't have a load of planes like some air museums but it does have a lot of interesting stories. You need to take time... read more to read the captions to get the most out of it. Enthusiastic staff. The radio shack didn't look interesting at first but some of the working exhibits mad it worth a visit.

  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.

  Thanks to the team who look after this museum, we found it really amazing for children and adults. Full of information of the history in many wars, with good hands... read more on learning about many types of planes.

  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.

  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.

  Very good wartime exhibits with some excellent partial aircraft restorations.
Interesting radio section.
Very knowledgeable and friendly volunteer staff.

  Took the kids here, aged 7 and 8, and had a throughly good time. There’s lots of interesting artefacts in the museums and pieces of WW2 memorabilia and part of... read more old panes and munitions etc. my particular favourite was the old piano from the RAF mess room, I expect that was the focal point of some lively drinking sessions back in the day. Plenty for the kids to see and do. The guys overseeing the museum were helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

  Found almost by accident (a leaflet at another site) and decided to take a chance although wasn't sure what to expect - whether there was enough to see. We... read more certainly were not disappointed. The exhibits were accompanied by plenty of information and often accompanied by information about those involved, not just those who gave their lives but those who survived. While looking at a restored aeroplane is great, being able to see the salvaged aircraft and other items makes it all the more interesting. A great find.

  Set in the Sussex countryside, not far from main roads, is this little gem! The "hanger" is packed with World War II memorabilia, from personal items to crashed aircraft, a... read more complete fuselage, an Austin 7 car, so much is there!

The sort of place that you would need to return to as it is difficult to take it all in during a single visit.

Places to sit outside (if the weather is nice), light refreshments and good w.c. facilities.

What's not to like?

  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.

  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

  I would if they had been open as advertised on their website and on the road signs they had put up on the roads and outside the museum saying it... read more was open today 18th September 2022.
It was locked up with the sign outside saying open today. When we were there today there were 2 other cars there waiting to go and visit. One of them phoned to be told by a recorded message it was open today.

What an appalling way to run a museum.
