Wings Museum

Wings Museum Map

The Wings Museum is located near Balcombe in West Sussex and is housed in a 12,000 square feet hangar-like former farm building.

The museum displays mainly World War II-related flying memorabilia and equipment which have been donated or which have been recovered and restored by volunteers.

History
The museum was originally located at Redhill Aerodrome but was moved to its current location in 2011.

In 2013, the museum hosted a fundraiser for the upkeep of the Bomber Command Memorial in nearby Green Park, and in 2015 volunteers restored a Bristol Beaufighter Mk1f which had crashed 75 years earlier.
