National Museum of Flight, Aviation museum in East Fortune, Scotland
The National Museum of Flight is an aviation museum in East Fortune housing more than 50 aircraft and aviation artifacts across multiple hangars. The collection spans different periods and sectors of the aviation industry.
The museum was founded in 1975 using the original buildings of RAF East Fortune, an important military airfield during World War II. The location preserves the heritage of this former air station.
The museum holds aircraft that shaped Scotland's relationship with aviation over many decades. Visitors encounter civil, military, and commercial planes side by side, gaining insight into how aviation served different purposes.
