Fleet Air Arm Museum
Fleet Air Arm Museum, Aviation museum at RNAS Yeovilton, England.
The Fleet Air Arm Museum is an aviation museum on an active naval air station in England that displays the history of naval air operations. It houses over ninety aircraft and tens of thousands of objects spread across four exhibition halls, ranging from wooden biplane designs to modern jets.
The museum was established in 1964 and collects aircraft and objects from naval aviation spanning more than a century. Among the most significant pieces are rare machines from World War II, including foreign models that influenced British developments.
The exhibitions show how British naval aviation developed and what it meant to the country's history. Visitors see aircraft that shaped different generations of pilots and engineers.
Visitors can park free on-site for around two hundred thirty vehicles and reach the museum by train to nearby stations. Arriving in the morning allows more time to explore the exhibitions and avoid peak crowds.
The museum features a full-scale replica of an aircraft carrier with parking areas and flight deck where visitors can understand life on board. During a visit, real naval aircraft can be observed from the adjacent airfield as visitors watch planes take off and land live.
