Fleet Air Arm Museum
Fleet Air Arm Museum
Europe's Largest Naval Aviation Collection
The Museum comprises four large halls. Each hall has ground floor and upper levels telling the stories of naval aviation from the first manned kites towed behind naval vessels, to helium filled airships, seaplanes, bi-planes and the carrier borne aircraft of WW2 and modern Sea Harriers and helicopters. We also have an original Concorde 002.
Get up close and personal with the giants of aviation history. Witness the Battle of the Atlantic, the Falklands Conflict and Aviation in World War I. You can view the airfield and see a nuclear bomb!
You can also experience 'flying' by helicopter launched from HMS Ark Royal! And witness an air sea rescue as a Buccaneer is lost at sea!
