Fleet Air Arm Museum

The regal Fleet Air Arm Museum is devoted to the flying arm of the Royal Navy, and holds many thousands of objects, ranging from complete aircraft, to photographs, individual medals, and documents, plus models of aircraft and Royal Navy ships. Plenty to delight the military minded munchkin!

The museum is made up of 4 large halls, each of which has upper and lower levels that tell the story of naval aviation from the first manned kites (towed behind Naval vessels!) to modern Sea Harriers and helicopters, and everything in between! Hall 1 has a display showing how naval aviation developed from the early days of airships and bi planes, to modern jet aircraft and helicopters. Hall 2 is mainly devoted to WWII, including a Kamikaze exhibit in a side room.
