Sat 14th July is our Rover Car Rally with Lancaster taxy runs at 11am, 1.30pm and 4pm. We also have a Hurricane flypast at 3.20pm.

We're making progress with our much loved Proctor restoration as the fabric begins to be stretched to the wings.

The tin has been going on the new Nissen huts this week!

Do we have a friendly Arborist/tree surgeon who would give us favourable rates to trim a group of trees at the end of the landing strip?

It is hoped that Dakota N473DC will be performing a test flight on Thursday.

As of 7.30pm tonight NX611 is serviceable and ready for taxy runs. A big thank you to our hard working team and all of the effort they have put in this winter. Its been hard earnt!

What an amazing place with amazing events helpful staff and of course the beautiful just Jane

Keep up the good work guys and girls

We had the most amazing day! A VIP trip on Just Jane.

The whole day was run brilliantly and the staff are all very friendly and accommodating. For a special treat I couldn’t recommend this place any higher.

We had a lovely day, was great to see the Lancaster taxi down the runway. Would definitely recommend this as a good day out . Cakes were delicious too .

We cannot thank the owners enough for allowing our enthusiast event to take place there this weekend. What a fantastic place... it was nice to see our children's imagination come to life and not be glued to a computer. All facilities are in keeping with the ww2 era and disabled friendly too. The staff were always polite and no request was too much for them. Whilst the museum offers many points of historical interest for all ages and abilities, it is also important to note that there are many secluded spots where veteran's attended for some quiet remembrance.

Our children wondered wild and free with awe and excitement. A very safe and secure site. All the time just Jane the Lancaster bomber gazing down at us. A truly beautiful machine and a huge credit to all that have worked and fought to keep her going.



We cannot thank the staff and owners enough. Keep up the amazing work that you do.

Took a coachoad of Aussie aviation enthusiasts here. The welcome was amazing. The staff are so helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. The catering is excellent. We all had a great time, but the icing on the cake was seeing the iconic Lancaster taxiing! Good luck with your fundraising to get Just Jane in the air!

This place should be on everyone’s list to visit, very well laid out, excellent staff and great exhibits,is a must go and see. Will be going again to see Jane fire up those merlins.��

This place is fantastic, very informative and moving. Disappointed there wasn't a Lancaster taxying that day, as they only do certain days, but I would still recommend it and for all ages too.

This place is brilliant great day out we was lucky enough to see the Lancaster doing the taxi ride on the runway it sent the hair on the back of my neck up great experience will be back �

I was lucky enough to be given a tour inside Just Jane for my birthday. I went last Saturday and I was really impressed with the guides knowledge on the history of the bomber. A wonderful tribute to those who were lost during ww2.

Home of the most beautiful old lady in the world. Time your visit when they’re doing taxi runs to experience the sound of those amazing Merlin engines. Utter bliss!!

Had a monumental day out.The staff were very friendly. I would catagoricly go back.lots more information to be absorbed. I must say this gave me a much greater understanding of what people went through back in the day . Thanks to those men and women

Great place to visit if you like older aircraft. Always something going on and where else can you get close up and personal with a Lancaster.

Great place to spend the day loads to see staff helpful my wife just had surgery there had wheel chairs great idea food was good must see place

Fantastic place. Full of history and a good way to remember those who gave there life's for our tomorrow. Can't recommend the place enough. Great food and of course the gorgoues Lancaster bomber is good to look at :-)

Fantastic day out for all. Myself and my husband visited with our dog whilst on our holiday, being able to take our dog was an added bonus, they are welcome in all the exhibitions, just not in the restaurant. This however is not an issue because there is ample outside seating, with sun brollies, which on the day we went was a god send. The staff are all welcoming and polite. I would recommend that you try and time your visit so that you see the magnificent ‘Just Jane’ do her drive out, it really is a sight.......and sound to behold.

Fabulous find. Went for the Lanc, Tank and Military Machines event and Hangar Dance and had an excellent day and evening. Museum well laid out and very interesting. Loved watching Just Jane doing her taxi runs. Will be back.

Brilliant. Phillip & his family are so warm & friendly including all the staff. Highly recommend, standing near the Lancaster when it's engines start up. What an amazing, but emotional feeling :-) naafi cafe serves very good quality food & drink too

Amazing place. If you’re into planes and history then this place is for you. The Lancaster bomber is just sensational.

Absolutely awesome, I went with my Mum and Dad, Dad is ex-airforce and disabled and needs a mobility scooter and we were able to access most areas. We also got to see “Just Jane” taxiing as well, which was a added bonus. Seeing the look on my Dads face was well worth the day out. Highly recommend for all ages.
