Ended up here today for a few hours trying to kill some time, well worth a visit, only a few pics from my phone I'm afraid.
The UKs first aircraft factory, now contains all the WW1 aviation exhibits:
Obviously the Short Wheel Base Version of this one
The original switch panel from the entrance to the factory, the owner liked to show off how much power the machines were using, quite the opposite to today
More effective than a set of cheap Coilovers
Interesting view of a radial engine crank shaft (should have used a flash)
Lovely P-51 Mustang
Interestingly coloured Buccaneer
A Harrier, no idea what variant
Landing Gear Mechanism on a Tornado, I took this because I have the user refusing to fly his UAV because there is some chipped paint on the towing hitch bracket
Pre Production Typhoon, pretty sure there's probably one of Scotts early black boxes tucked away in here
Gloucester Meteor, familiar to anyone that used to drive past St Leonards Motors
Mortal Enemies. There are lots of different spitfires if they're your thing, you can even pay £10 to sit in one.
Vulcan Bomb Bay
Can't remember what it was but it came from the bottom of a lake
Who remembers this from the RAF recruitment advert?
