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.
▪️HOME FRONT MUSEUM
Our Home Front display transports visitors back to the 1940's with a recreated street scene and living room.
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.
▪️SMALL TOY MUSEUM
Our small Toy Museum features a working H0.00 model railway and a selection of
vintage toys.
🐶 DOG INFORMATION
Dogs are most welcome on a lead.
☕️ TEA ROOM
The NAAFI Tea Room, will be open , serving hot and cold beverages, cakes and snacks during operating hours.
🗺 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.
