ℹ️ ABOUT
An aviation museum covering the second World War and World War 1 with displays on the RAF and 8th USAAF. Located in the restored Watch Office (Control Tower), the museum showcases a comprehensive collection of photographs documenting Glenn Millers time in the UK.

▪️THE UPPER FLOOR
The upper floor has been meticulously restored to its original wartime configuration, reflecting its history as a RAF night fighter training school. The museum also features an Aviation Museum, boasting an impressive array of artifacts recovered from wartime crash sites, as well as uniforms and memorabilia from World War 2.
We also have a special exhibition on World War 1.

Additionally, the museum is home to a faithfully reproduced wartime fire station, complete with authentic firefighting equipment. The former armoury houses a unique collection of British and Axis uniforms, equipment, and vehicles including a restored 1/4 scale ME 109 fighter.

vintage toys.

☕️ TEA ROOM

🗺 A WARNING ABOUT SAT NAV’S
The crucial thing to remember is that you can only access the museum via Twinwood Road, which in turn can only be accessed from a roundabout on Milton Road in the village of Clapham. 

Please study a traditional map before setting off, and do not blindly trust your sat nav! The only truly reliable way to get your Sat Nav behaving nicely is to input these
latitude/Longitude numbers:
N52.1692492 W0.5049295.


These co-ordinates will take you to the Milton Road/Twinwood Road roundabout, and from there up to the Twinwood Road for just over ½ mile and you will see the museum entrance on the right.
