Nice and immersive volunteer run museum next to Gloucestershire Airport. I honestly hadn't previously heard about this treasure and was pleasantly surprised and impressed. The premises were clean, well organised and various, well curated airframes- with thoughtfully researched placards. My personal favourites were the Hawker Sisley Trident and Avro Vulcan narrated tours. All the volunteers were also very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Overall, will definitely recommend.

Biggles flies undone.

December 17th, 1903. Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Wilbur Wright turns to brother Orville and angrily 😠 says "I told you we should've fitted a jet engine. We'd have got a lot further than 120 feet." "Jet engine?", replied Orville, "Frank Whittle hasn't invented them yet!" Wilbur only half heard him, his mind was on other things. War was looming, Wilbur was rethinking the design, "Where can we put the bomb 💣 bay?" he muttered to himself. Run by volunteers, whose only error was asking me to make a contribution, this is a pretty coolio place to visit. No charge to get in, hours of fun for all the family. War. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing (Say it again).

Great museum, well curated, main theme is anything with a tie to local Gloucestershire air industry.No entry fee, plase give a donation. You can sit in a Vulcan cockpit and also that of the Trident airliner. Very helpful & knowledgable volunteers. Books, pictures and model kits and toys for sale. Nice cafe to visit at end for a brew and biscuit. Impossible to find anything wrong or criticise. Everything is well curated and presented. We will be back.

Lovely museum with very friendly and knowledgeable volunteers. Great experience, I’d highly recommend it. Don’t miss out on sitting in the Vulcan and Trident cockpits either!

Excellent, interesting look at the aeronautical history of Gloucester. It is well laid out, and clearly labelled with facts about the planes on display. It's best feature by far is it's staff who are amazingly knowledgeable about the displayed items, and very pleasant to boot. There are a selection of souvenirs to purchase and a nice cafe too.
