This trailer has done sterling service over the years, taking mobile exhibitions around the country. Now with help from our friends at the Hampshire Police and Fire Heritage Collection it will have a new lease of life!

Facebook hive-mind, we need your help! Solent Sky is planning a big project about the Spitfire in 2020. We have in our archive a splendid set of cartoons depicting life in Southampton during the war which we would love to use for the project. Unfortunately we can find no informaition about their origins. Who made them? What publication did they appear in? The top right corner of each page reads 'Chris Buswell' - does anyone know how we can contact him? Additionally, the first two pages of this series are sadly missing! Does anyone have a full set? Any information you can provide will be much appreciated. #southampton #spitfire #history

Another #bankholiday is fast approaching - bring the kids to Solent Sky in #Southampton for cockpits, quizzes and fun!

Precision engineering... ?

We're not just about aeroplanes at Solent Sky - our workshops are full of weird and wonderful contraptions being made ready for public display!

Solent Sky will be OPEN throughout Easter - bring the family and experience the glamour of flying boat travel, the excitement of Schneider racing seaplanes, and the legend of the Spitfire!

Bring the kids to the birthplace of the Spitfire for a fun day with fighter cockpits, quizzes, prizes, and 20 aeroplanes all crammed in one hangar... How did we ever fit them all in?!?

Solent Sky is No.1 for cockpits - where else in the world can you sit in a Harrier jump jet, a Supermarine Swift and Sandringham flying boat all in the same day? Come on down and keep the kids occupied!

We're ready for 17 days of Easter Hols madness - Come and visit Solent Sky and join in the fun!
