The museum has a collection of over twenty aircraft. Some of the aircraft are situated outside, while others are housed inside the museum buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can access the cockpits of the Avro Vulcan<\/strong>, the English Electric Canberra<\/strong>, and the Percival Sea Prince<\/strong>. Please be aware that the cockpits were never designed for public access, so they are quite small and cramped. The climbing of a small ladder may also be required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not all aircraft are currently listed on this website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
