jet age museum gloucester

    
 
 
       Excellent museum especially the Trident and Vulcan Excellent museum near Gloucester. In particular I recommend doing the Trident and Vulcan tour. On the Trident tour you can sit in the airline seats and listen to a talk and short videos before you do the cockpit tour. On the Vulcan it's a climb up to see the cockpit and find out about the different roles that each crew member does. The guides are very informative.There are lots of other planes (and parts etc) to see and other cockpits you can sit in. Also there is a shop and a cafe plus outdoor picnic benches with views over Staverton airfield. It's free to enter and there are plenty of donation points within the museum. The volunteers are definitely not pushy about donations but hopefully most people do donate. Plenty of parking for cars and bicycles.Overall it's definitely worth a visit, there is plenty to see and do and the volunteers are very friendly and knowledgeable.

      A hidden gem in Gloucester A superb experience for aviation enthusiasts. I really enjoyed talking with many of the volunteers and sharing our passion for aviation. Whilst there are other museums that will have a larger and somewhat more authentic collection, this place is still 100% worth a visit. It’s also free with the option of a donation, so no reason not to visit! Make sure you do the Vulcan tour, an ex Vulcan pilot took me through the cockpit and shared some stories of his time in the RAF. Also a good spot for seeing air traffic at Gloucester airport!

      A lovely museum A great musuem with lots of interactive exhibits for all ages. The volunteers are very knowledgable and friendly. The museum is nice and tidy and well laid out with lots of clear information boards. Its nice to also watch the workshop area where preservation of a Meteor NF14 and a Galdiator is progressing

      A Great Find! A wet windy day, but no one was bored what a great find!History for the adults and cockpit experiences for the kids. All the volunteers were welcoming, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable, many with lived experiences of flying and engineering. A little cafe, perfect for a little break and snack.

      Marvellous way to spend a couple of hours. Lovely little museum with fascinating exhibits, informative displays and a modern building. The aeroplanes were well themed and chosen, with those displayed indoors restored to a high standard. The museum volunteers were friendly and knowledgeable, whilst the shop was well stocked with books and models. Easy to get to and park. To top all this off, the museum is free to enter, although they always need donations to ensure they can continue preserving their exhibits.

      Great fun, lovely staff My whole family loved this visit. There were plenty of cockpits to sit in and information exhibits around the hangar. The volunteer staff was lovely and incredibly knowledgeable. We could have chatted for hours. It reignited my kids’ love for flying and aims to be pilots. It is free but we gave a donation to keep this place up and running as it’s a gem.

      Excellent and Informative Very enjoyable and informative. The only downsides were trying to find the place (apparently they are trying to get some signage) and the volcano cockpit was closed for refurbishment. However the Trident cockit tour was very good.They also had a good selection of 2nd hand aviation books for sale.
