Me and my family visited a few weeks ago. We absolutely loved this place, the volunteers told us so many interesting facts, and nothing was too much for them to answer if we had any questions and trust me with 2 boys under 7 we had many questions. The wait was very long to try the simulators but my kids waited patiently so they sat in and they really enjoyed this experience. Definitely a day out, but it's open only on weekends and Bank Holiday Mondays.
I'm a big fan of air museums, lovely staff? all volunteers and welcoming, big selection of airplanes, history and aviation knowledge, simulators are brilliant, worth visiting and have a lovely time, don't forget to visit the shop and be generous with your donation, this museum rely on us to stay open and running.
It was a delight to take my grandchildren here. The retired aero engineers and pilots who are volunteers were very helpful explaining each aircraft or simulator. The kids can sit in most cockpits or flight decks. It will sow the seeds for many young people interested in an aviation career. Farnborough is such a historical place too. The Cody exhibit was quite something. Please donate to keep it going and add new exhibits !
I only found out about this place today at 2pm, on a Michael Portillo Railway Journey, despite my knowledge of the area and not being far away, I had no idea that the Cody aircraft had been replicated. I was excited and we were there just after 3pm. There was supposed to be accessible parking and accessible entrance. Not true, see my photos of the 2 disabled spaces which were inaccessible. The entrance was difficult. The 2 men were not interested let alone helpful and the one in the brown jacket was dismissive. The taller one with glasses never spoke to me at any point. I had expressed my excitement as my grandparents were actually present at the flight and even had a little bit. Brown jacket was clearly not interested so I walked all around trying to identify the piece that I held often as a small child. Not quite what I expected or was hoping for. I had brought photos. I left in tears. As a historian who has presented artifacts to the public, this failed me as an old person with a family link. I have been crying and depressed all evening and will not be returning. I’m now feeling like giving up sharing history publicly ever again. I’m just going to go back to researching dead people as apparently nobody is interested in saving anything these days. I’m actually feeling empty and bereft. My life is a battle these days due to illness and disability and it’s not worth trying anymore
Lovely little museum that deserves an hour of your family’s time. As other reviews have said the volunteers running the place are incredible. Add to this a solid selection of planes, helicopters, flight simulators and a fabulous gift shop and you really can’t complain. It’s free too but if anywhere is deserving of a voluntary donation it’s here. Sunday afternoon gold.
