A surprisingly large collection from what we expected. Comprehensive collection of mainly cold war jets and with nearly all fully accessible within historic hanger. New flying corp section newly opened. Located on the edge of Old Sarum airfield with free parking. Refreshments and food available outside plus also brewery tap room. One of the best I've been to loads of helpers around to tell you about the plane's and you can even get into the cockpit of some of the plane's and helicopter's An absolutely brilliant museum. Full of fascinating and unusual aircraft and with the bonus of being able to get up close to the and interiors. The volunteer are amazingly knowledgeable and friendly and every corner of the hangars is dripping with history. Don’t ignore the Royal Flying Corps section in the north hangar- the contents therein would be worth the price of admission alone such is their rarity and interest. This was an unplanned visit due to a last-minute change of route on our journey to Poole. I’m so glad of that change as this is one of the most interesting places I’ve ever visited. Bravo! Truly the best I've ever been too! Absolutely fabulous place with the best staff! Alan was an absolute Gem who was so knowledgeable! Truly would recommend a visit Great afternoon at this place. Lots of history and boards to read but also they let you climb into the of the that are open! Absolutely amazing who are all volunteers and most are retired pilots themselves so well worth a visit! Fabulous place to visit! A great place for kids and adults alike to get the opportunity to get up close with aircraft from the past. There are few places where children are encouraged to climb into displays in a but here they certainly are! The are incredibly friendly and always up for a chat. Would recommend visiting to anyone! What a lovely experience! This collection of and helicopters, including a great number of aircraft which you are invited to climb into is worth a visit. The are all volunteers who do their roles with such passion and all have a wealth of experience that they are very willing to share with you. Absolutely amazing place. Really cool with access to almost all of them- a dream for boys of all ages. The is incredibly nice and knowledgeable and enthusiastic and passionate. Most of them were either flying one of these themselves or were engineers, hence you can learn a tone about aviation. If you lucky you can also watch skydivers from hanger 3. Best we ever visited. It’s one of the most best museums in the uk. Boscombe down collection is very family friendly, informative, interactive, very historic and the ticket prices are very fair. Also you can go in a lot of different of different types of military aircraft. Also if you are lucky they sometimes bring out their Hawker t1 and turn on its engines. The location is great for people who live near by but it pretty hard to get to if you live far away but, I don’t mind. It is also really close to RAF Boscombe down which is pretty cool. If you love going into the of Boscombe would be GREAT for you!!!! ｡◕‿‿◕｡ We loved the hands on aspect of the museum, you are allowed to climb in the cock pits of some planes, and the so friendly and knowledgeable, we leant alot about the history of the spit fire and Lancaster, plus some other interesting planes. The 12 and 8 year olds loved it too. Thank you.
