One of the premier attractions in the Southwest. The FleetAirArmMuseum offers a day out guaranteed to thrill the whole family. You’ll be up close and personal among the giants of aviation history in Europe’s largest collection of Naval aircraft- stepping on board the first British Concorde and seeing the cockpit of the legend first hand. The museum takes you to the heart of the action within the award winning Aircraft Carrier Experience. You’ll ‘fly’ by helicopter to the replica flight deck of HMS Ark Royal. On board you’ll see ten aircraft and two enormous projection screens showing a Phantom Interceptor Fighter and Buccaneer Low Level Strike Bomber take off and land around you. The sonic and visual assault on the senses is breathtaking. You’ll experience the drama of a working flight deck and feel the wind in your hair as you witness an air sea rescue when a Buccaneer is lost over the side of the Ark Royal into the sea. You will even see a nuclear bomb. Inside the Ark Royal is a series of faithfully reconstructed cabins and operational areas, from the Bridge to the ‘Goofers’ Deck’ which looks down on the flight deck below. New for 2017 (July) you will find our fantastic new external play facility - great fun for all the family and inspired by the new Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers. The Museum also has a licensed restaurant, shop, ample free parking and excellent disabled access. Across the road from the Museum is the Reserve Collection which opens to the public once each year. The collection includes over thirty historic aircraft and over 30,000 records and artefacts, including. one of the largest collections of Westland Helicopters, the only surviving example of a WW1 aircraft carrier and the dramatic early stages of a reconstruction of what will become the world’s only Barracuda torpedo bomber. More than a museum, The Fleet Air Arm Museum is an exciting experience revealing the history of Navalaviation in a compelling and engaging way for all ages. Situated alongside Europe’s busiest military air station, you may even see military aircraft going through their rigorous training procedures. Visit The FleetAirArmMuseum. #maketimeforheroes |
