Very informative museum setting out the history of the airfield and it's associated activities through the years. With the future of the airfield in doubt I hope that whoever ends up with the land allows the museum to stay and ensure it is kept independent from the memorial. A really good selection of aircraft both complete and cockpits on show, my favourite has to be the F6 Lightning. I would suggest that they are undercharging, I would think that they could easily raise the admission for adults from £2 to £5 without any impact on visitor numbers.
