Key to the experience are your guides who range from experienced aircrew and engineers, who flew or maintained many of the exhibits when they were in service, to aerospace experts. This team will enhance your tour of the external aircraft/ cockpits and fire engines, our internal Search and Rescue, Nimrod, and related exhibits. For an entirely different experience, immerse yourself in the planetarium, a 7 metre wrap-around cinema, with shows that run during our opening hours.
