Hangars
The Museum site is vast and it is difficult to see everything in just one visit. Here are some suggestions about what you could fit into a short and longer visit:
 |
National Cold War Exhibition
Explore the immense threat posed to world peace and security during this significant period of the 20th century. See a real piece of the Berlin wall and the V Bombers - Vickers, Valiant, and Vulcan. |
 |
Test Flight
Immerse yourself in a chronological display of First World War, Interwar, Second World War and Test flight aircraft. See the Battle of Britain display, the world's oldest Spitfire, and the only surviving Defiant. Test Flight also includes our TSR-2, simulation zone with Parachute Drop, a 4D experience, virtual reality and more. |
 |
War in the Air
The display includes British and German aircraft, all with an important place in the development of military aviation. It includes the Bomber Command exhibition, the V1 bomb and V2 missile and the newly-restored Wellington bomber. |

Hangar 1
