From Vietnam veteran helicopters to the Queen’s Royal Flight, the world’s largest helicopter museum has it all!
View aviation action in the museum’s film theatre or experience a real flight along the coast (on selected dates only). See the world’s fastest helicopter for yourself – the incredible Westland G-LYNX set a speed record of 400.87 KM/H and is yet to beaten over 25 years later!
Explore the Weston Aviation Exhibition and learn about the area’s huge contribution to aviation history in the UK. The exhibition is housed inside Weston airfield’s now resorted WWII era pilots block and even gives visitors a chance to get up close to the 30 foot ‘Bristol Bloodhound’ missile.
