Museum of Army Flying

Museum of Army Flying

Experience over 100 years of the Army in the Air

The Museum of Army Flying is home to a unique collection of military aviation history, one of both international and national importance. We give a fascinating and imaginative glimpse of “soldiers in the air” and life on the Home Front.

Come and see our amazing selection of historic fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft, detailed dioramas, artefacts, trophies and models which serve as a profound and inspiring tribute to the Army and their machines. There are a range of interesting and engaging activities for children to enjoy including Museum trails, puzzles, games and simulators.

Situated right alongside the Army Air Corps’ busy working airfield at Middle Wallop; visitors can often enjoy watching the Army Air Corps training in their impressive Apache and Lynx helicopters.

Visit us and make it a day all the family will remember and enjoy!

School Visits

The museum lends itself to educational visits in many ways. There are a variety of curriculum links that can be made, through history, science, technology, art and more. We are particularly well placed to offer tours in connection with World War II study, both on the Home Front with our 1940s style house, and from a military history perspective, with our unique collection of wartime aircraft. Whatever your requirements, we are able to offer off-the-shelf workshops or we are happy to develop bespoke learning packages to suit your needs at no additional charge.
