Army Flying Museum, Military aviation museum in Middle Wallop, United Kingdom.
The Army Flying Museum is a military aviation museum in Middle Wallop displaying more than 35 aircraft and helicopters across two exhibition halls. The collections span decades of British Army flying operations through fixed-wing planes and rotorcraft from different periods.
The museum was established in 1987, building on a collection that started in 1946 at RAF Andover. The holdings eventually moved to a purpose-built facility at Middle Wallop where they remain today.
The exhibits trace five branches of Army Aviation and show how each developed over time with distinct roles and equipment. You walk through displays that reveal how these flying units became essential to military operations.
The museum sits next to an active military airfield where you can watch current Army Air Corps operations while exploring the historical aircraft. The layout of both exhibition halls is straightforward and accessible, with a cafe on site.
Many visitors are unaware that they might spot real helicopters or planes taking off or landing while still inside the exhibition halls. This coexistence of preserved historical aircraft and active military operations creates an unusual connection between past and present.
