About

From modern day jets to iconic aircraft, the Fleet Air Arm’s vast hangers are home to over 100 naval aircraft, many of which are unique and cannot be seen anywhere else in the world. Located right next door to the Royal Navy’s airbase at Yeovilton, the museum tells the fascinating story of naval flight in a unique setting with plenty on offer to excite visitors of all ages.

Climb inside the first supersonic Concord 002, a Sea King Search and Rescue helicopter and experience life at ‘full throttle’ and you climb in our vampire cockpit. Board a Wessex helicopter and land on the deck of HMS Ark Royal for the Aircraft Carrier Experience.

The museum is located on a working naval air station there is even the chance of spotting real naval aircraft taking flight!

Enjoy a break in the licensed café, picnic area, adventure playground and museum shop. The museum also offer free parking.

A great day out for the whole family.
