Pistons and props show. Great day out. Great atmosphere. Awesome vehicles. Would be 5 stars but for the disgusting state of the portable toilets and definite lack of hand sanitiser stations or any kind of social distancing enforcement whatsoever.

Always seem to find myself driving past this, and every time my childhood dream of being a pilot re-emerges - as what little boy didn’t want to be a fighter pilot? Always seems to be closed whenever I pass by the museum, but once COVID is all said and done I’ll make sure to pop in to get a closer look at some of the remarkable aircraft on site
It was great seeing the planes and helicopters coming and going, we were lucky enough to see a chinook land. I did find the food there a bit expensive for what it was though. Worth a visit though.
I live local to the Museum and have never been before so I decided to head over and look around. I went on their opening day, 20th April 2019, when there were having a grand re-opening (they close over winter). The grand opening was really good with lots, and lots of WW2 vehicles White armoured cars, Jeeps, LRDG vehicles all in fine condition all of which were part of various local re-enactment and historical groups and are not normally present on site. There were also showing of a newly renovated Hawker Hunter aircraft on which they have done a fine job. The museum is very compact but contain a very large number of items and is worth a good wander around. The only real issue is that it's a little cramped and that doesn't, in some cases, allow them to display the items in their full glory.
Love the art deco buildings and decor. Great history to the aerodrome. There is a museum attached. The restaurant does good food. All the staff are friendly. The hotel has comfy beds and is also art deco. The whole place has a great feel. The surrounding villages are really pretty too
