Following the demise of Peter Vallance, the museum is now being run by a charitable trust that was set up for just this eventuality. The museum will continue, it will grow and strengthen and will achieve the status that Peter fought for, for so many years.


 

This Aviation Museum has a unique collection of British Aircraft from the "golden age" of British aircraft manufacture. From the end of WWII until the 1970's British aircraft designers produced some of the most innovative and advanced aircraft of the day. From post war to cold war, this museum clearly shows that timeline in aviation terms.

In this collection there are examples from the major manufacturers of this period.

Amongst the list are classic names, English Electric, Avro, de Havilland, Hawker, Fairey, Blackburn, Percival.
