Two nationally significant Second World War hangars at the Museum have undergone a major £3.6 million restoration and redevelopment, offering an exciting new experience for visitors of all ages.
Built in 1940-41, they will house an array of world-class military and civil aircraft engagingly presented alongside interactives and films. The stories of those who piloted or flew in the aircraft will also be told through thought-provoking displays featuring uniforms, documents and photographs.
One hangar displays military aircraft, including a Supermarine Spitfire, an English Electric Lightning and the oldest surviving Hawker Siddeley Harrier jump jet. The other displays smaller commercial and leisure aircraft dating from 1969 onwards including a Britten Norman Islander and a Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer.
