Army Flying Museum, Military aviation museum in Middle Wallop, United Kingdom.
The Army Flying Museum is a military aviation museum in Middle Wallop, Hampshire, that displays aircraft and helicopters from different periods of British Army service across two large exhibition halls. Alongside the machines, the museum also holds uniforms, personal kit, and documents that bring the lives of army aviators closer to the visitor.
The collection began shortly after the Second World War at RAF Andover and formally opened to the public in 1987 in a purpose-built building at Middle Wallop. Since then it has grown to include aircraft from every major conflict in which the British Army has been involved since 1945.
The displays cover aircraft used by the British Army from the Second World War through to recent conflicts, showing how the role of flying soldiers changed over time. Walking through the halls, visitors get a clear sense of how different generations of crews lived and worked.
The museum is in a rural location next to an active military airfield, so arriving by car is the most straightforward option. Both exhibition halls are on ground level and easy to move around, and there is a cafe on site for a break.
The museum holds one of the few surviving Skeeter helicopters, an early light helicopter that was among the first types flown by the Army Air Corps when it formed. This particular aircraft is now rare and hard to find anywhere else in the world.
