Royal Air Force Museum

The RAF Museum has a total collection of well over two hundred aircraft at its historic site at the original London Aerodrome. These include the legendary Spitfire and Lancaster Bomber. Five mammoth buildings contain over a hundred aircraft, artefacts, aviation memorabilia, fine art and photographs covering the history of aviation from early balloon flights to the latest jet fighters. The Milestones of Flight exhibition traces the history of the first century of powered flight and some of the most important Royal Air Force aircraft are displayed, along with classics from the USA, Germany, Japan and France. Younger visitors are encouraged to experiment with interactive exhibits in Aeronauts - interactive. An upper floor allows you to overlook the Historic Hangars in all their glory and specially constructed platforms enable you to get up close to the aircraft. Wings Restaurant is a fully licensed restaurant targeted towards the family, and the Wessex Cafe serves a selection of light snacks and drinks.
