Traveler reviews
Ashen Crown
★★★★★3 weeks agoAs a huge aviation and military history enthusiast, I absolutely loved this museum. Growing up, I spent countless hours playing IL-2 Sturmovik, so seeing many of these legendary aircraft in real life and at their actual size was an incredible experience. The collection is impressive, beautifully presented, and gives you a real appreciation for aviation history. I highly recommend visiting, even if you're only casually interested in aircraft. And the fact that admission is free makes it even more amazing. ✈️

★★★★★a month agoFree Entry. Easily you can walk in. You can travel by here bus and the few minutes of walk. There are 6 dome/ H1-H6. Each has unique and amazing aircrafts. This is must visit place for those who loves aircrafts, those who loves WW1 & WW2 stories. There are a plenty of original aircrafts from 1900-1960 are stored in domes with written histories and stories of that time. I strongly recommend to visit this Royal Airforce Museum.
