One of the finest and most interesting collections of aviation archaeology in the United Kingdom. All the exhibits (except the aircraft) are housed in purpose built premises comprising of three large themed halls, with interactive displays, well lit cabinets and structured themes. FAWNAPS is the Society responsible for the setting up and running of the museum. The Society was formed during the mid 1970's. As well as the work involved (all voluntary) in the running of the museum, the Society, still actively involved in the research and recovery of aircraft, holds meetings twice monthly on Thursday evenings.

A splendid collection of memorabilia, mostly associated with aviation past and present, including the second world war, Falklands conflict and Desert Storm. We have the cockpit from one of the two MiG 29's which collided at RAF Fairford (both pilots escaped injury) - the only MiG 29 cockpit in the UK!
