Could not fault the guys who work here! From the second we approached the entrance, we were warmly greeted by a fantastic gentleman! 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!

  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.

  We had passed the sign to the Wings museum on several occasions & always wondered what was there so we decided to take the time to find out.
Were warmly... read more greeted on arrival. Everything was undercover in a hangar-type building, so ideal in the Autumn months when you cannot rely on decent weather.

Lots of interesting artefacts relating to the many bombers of WWII inc. German planes - Heinkel, Fortress, Junkers, Lancaster, Wellington etc. etc. Fascinating stories relating to the pilots who flew the aircraft too, some as young as 19 or 20! It's only a relatively small attraction so no cafe on site but a drinks machine en route if you need one or visit Balcombe village after for lunch or tea & cake.

The gentlemen who was running it yesterday was very knowledgeable & approachable if we'd any questions. We took our time & spent 2 1/2 hours there but it could be done much quicker if you don't have that much time to spare.

Great for singles, groups or families with older children. They are grateful for donations should you have any interesting memorabilia relating to WWII. They are also looking for volunteers.

Plenty of parking. Hand sanitiser on arrival, we gave our contact details for track & trace & had to wear our masks all the time but we felt very safe visiting. They accept cash or credit card & a discount for over 60's. Worth a visit so take the time to support & explore this interesting attraction.

  A little gem of a museum. Beautifully laid out with a great deal of information about every exhibit. Lots if memorabilia - most of it donated by families of WW11... read more RAF pilots and personel. Run by very friendly and knowledgeable volunteers. We had a very enjoyable couple of hours there. Maybe not for very young children but certainly would recommend a visit. It will make you realise how brave these young men were.

  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!

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.

Whilst I popped to the toilets the kind... read more gentlemen were sorting out a dodgy wheel on my dad's walker. The museum is in a hangar and can get a tad warm when the sun is out but there was air coming in from the door. The museum has so much in it that you don't know what to look at first. There's a great array of war artifacts and it's quite touching seeing some of the stories. The gentleman were very helpful and informative. I would recommend here for anyone with even a slight interest in World war and or aviation.

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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

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.
