The Fleet Air Arm Museum is home to Europe’s largest naval aircraft collection. With over 100 aircraft, 2 million records, artefacts, and objects you are sure to find something that will capture your imagination.

The Museum is also home to Concorde 002, the first British prototype Concorde which visitors can climb aboard. As well as this, visitors can watch live flying of the Royal Naval Air Station’s Merlin and Wildcat helicopters from the safety of our two viewing areas.

Visitors will be able to enjoy the Aircraft Carrier Experience, where you will be taken on an immersive journey of discovery through the evolution of Aircraft Carriers from the dawn of naval air warfare, through the heyday of jet aviation right up to the workings of the modern-day Queen Elizabeth Class Carriers.

Alongside being Europe’s largest naval aviation museum, Fleet Air Arm Museum is home to groundbreaking conservation in action, in the form of Barracuda Live: The Big Rebuild. Not a single Fairey Barracuda exists in the world today, so piece by piece, a passionate team of staff and volunteers at the museum has been given Ministry of Defence (MOD) permission to gather scattered parts from wreck sites across the British Isles. 'Barracuda Live: The Big Rebuild,' is a long-term project which will employ a delicate balance of reclaimed original parts and newly manufactured components. Visitors can see Barracuda live in its new home in the museum - the Arthur Kimberley Viewing Gallery. Barracuda Live is free with a valid ticket to the museum.

Make sure to visit Warnefords to relax and refuel, our refurbished café located inside the museum which serves a variety of hot and cold snacks as well as drinks. Little ones can also enjoy the new Search and Rescue inspired soft play area inside the Museum and our outdoor Queen Elizabeth Class Carrier adventure play area.
