点评:What a fantastic place this is! My wife and I visited today and spent 3 hours happily immersed in aviation and it’s all free. No need for tickets.
Set in and around the original airport terminal, it has wonderful displays of every aspect of the airport through the years. From the aircraft on display themselves, there’s rooms full of uniforms, luggage, tickets, airport equipment of all sorts, fire and follow me trucks, archaeological finds, models, dioramas, aircraft engines from little Lycomings to a monster Rolls Royce Trent, radar aerials and screens, Very lights, radios, teletypers - if it’s ever been used at an airport it’s almost certainly on display here.
Set right by the business aircraft parking area, it has a great view of the southern end of runway 31. There’s both a proper built seating area, plus you can climb up an old set of air stairs in the fire truck area. We could never do this in the UK!
The buildings themselves have been very well preserved and you can almost imagine the staff and passengers of old in the terminal building.
The whole place is a credit to everyone who has had a hand in getting the museum to its current very high standard. The DC9 nose section built in to the building is a real eye opener! It’s a brilliant idea to see from both sides.
If you have even a passing interest in aviation, this is a museum well worth a few hours of your time.

它坐落在原机场航站楼内外,精彩地展示了机场多年来的方方面面。从展出的飞机本身,到摆满制服、行李、机票、各种机场设备、消防车和跟随我卡车、考古发现、模型、立体模型、从小型莱康明发动机到巨型劳斯莱斯遄达发动机的飞机发动机、雷达天线和屏幕、Very 灯、收音机、电传打字机——只要是在机场使用过的东西,几乎肯定都在这里展出。
它位于商务飞机停机坪旁,可以俯瞰31号跑道南端的壮丽景色。这里不仅有正式的座位区,还可以爬上消防车区域的一段老式登机梯。在英国,我们绝对做不到这一点!
建筑本身保存完好,几乎可以想象到航站楼里昔日的工作人员和乘客的身影。
博物馆的建成归功于所有为之付出努力的人,他们让博物馆达到了如今的高标准。内置于建筑内的DC9机头部分真是令人大开眼界!从两个角度欣赏,真是个绝妙的主意。
即使您对航空只是一时的兴趣,这座博物馆也值得您花几个小时来参观。
