This is an excellent aviation museum to visit - incredible artefacts, professional and easy-to-view displays as well as a wealth of well-researched historical information to read. Only one disappointment was the lack of any kind of nutritious food at the cafe - perhaps this is due to COVID limitations in sourcing good product, but it's probably best for visitors to know this beforehand; it certainly doesn't reflect the otherwise spectacular museum.

The WWI EXHIBIT was great. If you’re a plane enthusiast they have 16 planes and stories of pilots as well. The WWII exhibit is a work in progress but one thing we noticed was they were highlighting women pilots in the war as well.

Fantastic exhibition! Highly recommend. Attention to detail is astounding!

Amazing experience spent 4 hours looking through both displays.
