It consists of 8 massive hangars, brilliant displays and hundreds of planes, many still capable of flight. We started our visit in the Air Space hanger that covers the history, physics and today's commercial uses of flight. The displays were hands on and brilliant and the historical presentation really emphasises how far this industry has come in such a short space of time. From man's early efforts in hot air balloons to the Wright brother's historic flight in 1903 through to the commercial flight industry of today, space travel and of course the role of planes in the wars.
I kept thinking my Dad would be in heaven in this place, but really anyone would appreciate the wealth of information and history this museum has to offer. The hangars dedicated to the Land Warfare and the Battle of Britain are moving and by the time we'd been through both Daniel was quite convinced of how wrong and pointless it was to go to war!
If you do come to England and want to go to a brilliant museum this is definitely the place!
