Cranwell Aviation Heritage Museum

Museum | Sleaford | England | Großbritannien

Das Cranwell Aviation Heritage Museum in Sleaford, England, ist ein faszinierendes Museum, das sich mit der Geschichte der Luftfahrt in Großbritannien und insbesondere mit der Geschichte der Royal Air Force in Cranwell beschäftigt. Das Museum befindet sich auf dem Gelände der ehemaligen RAF Cranwell, einer der ältesten Luftwaffenakademien der Welt, und erzählt die Geschichte der militärischen Luftfahrt in der Region und deren Entwicklung über die Jahre.

Das Museum bietet eine Vielzahl von Exponaten und interaktiven Ausstellungen, die die Geschichte der RAF und die Bedeutung des Flughafens Cranwell für die britische Luftwaffe darstellen. Zu den Ausstellungen gehören ein Jet Provost Flug-Simulator, der den Besuchern die Möglichkeit gibt, das Gefühl eines Fluges zu erleben, sowie ein Cockpit der Vampire T11, ein weiteres historisches Flugzeug. Das Museum zeigt auch Artefakte, Uniformen, Fotos und Geschichten aus verschiedenen Epochen der Luftfahrtgeschichte, darunter die Zeit des Zweiten Weltkriegs und der Nachkriegsjahre.

Ein besonderes Highlight des Museums ist die umfassende Sammlung von Luftfahrtgeschichte und die regelmäßigen Sonderausstellungen, die sich mit verschiedenen Aspekten der Luftfahrt und der Rolle von Frauen in der Luftwaffe beschäftigen. Eine bekannte Ausstellung ist "High Flying Women", die die Geschichte von Frauen erzählt, die bedeutende Beiträge zur Luftfahrtgeschichte geleistet haben. Es gibt auch Ausstellungen über die Entwicklung von Frauen in der Luftwaffe, die bis in die Anfänge des 20. Jahrhunderts zurückreichen.

Das Cranwell Aviation Heritage Museum ist nicht nur ein Ort für Luftfahrtbegeisterte, sondern auch für Familien und Schulgruppen, die mehr über die Luftfahrtgeschichte und den Einfluss der RAF auf die Region erfahren möchten. Es bietet ein hervorragendes Bildungsprogramm und hat sich durch sein Engagement im Bereich der Luftfahrterbeziehung und die Förderung des Verständnisses für die Geschichte der Luftwaffe einen wichtigen Platz in der Region erarbeitet.

Great little museum with several interactive displays that my 9 year old loved - the parcel drop was a particular favourite. Staff were lovely. Small cafe served us a great sausage roll!

Lovely little place to visit with kids. Everyone we spoke to was kind, helpful and very knowledgeable. Recommend sausage rolls and cake. Nice and great value for money. Note to self - low height car is not ideal parking off road 😜 Kids loved playing on the interactive stuff and up close to the display outside. I'll be back to bring the other kids soon... You have been warned as they are cake fiends ,😜 Recommend and must visit 😁

Sorry to give a one star this is simply because we visited at 10.15am on Saturday and there was no one there, it says opens at 10am so I don't know why. Not near where we live so very disappointed not go have been in.

Free entry and a superb exhibition relating to RAF Cranwell. What's not to like? Cake and coffee are also available, plus the sausage rolls were very nice. The people running the museum were friendly and informative. Well worth a visit.

Jet provost needs some TLC or just a jet wash would be good

A gem of a small museum. Some interactive displays to keep the children entertained. Welcoming staff and lovely homemade cupcakes. Worth a visit if you are nearby, or a good stopping place if you are passing on the A17. Only 4 stars as it is quite small.

My grandchildren, my wife, and I had a superb time! My granddaughter now considers herself a pilot, having gained her wings on the simulator. We will be back on our next visit to Cranwell, we all enjoyed it so much. Thank you for the time you gave us today.

On our door step so dropped in to see what was on offer. Free parking, free entry and although only a small museum we were given a tour and filled with information about Cranwell Air base and all the people that were stationed there including the present King, Lawrence of Arabia and Frank Whittle to name a few. Cafe on site as well as a complete aircraft out the back. The gift shop has some nice items so pop in and find out a bit more about Cranwell and you will not be disappointed.

Such a sweet little museum. Loads of interactive stuff for kids to play with, costumes to try on, buttons to press. Really interesting to read about the history of Cranwell and what life was like for the apprentices. Staff were very kind and welcoming. A little cafe and loos made this a perfect pit stop on a long drive.

Bardzo łatwy dojazd. Muzeum nie jest duże ale za to interesujące. Co ważne wstęp jest darowy ale za to warto zostawić jakieś pieniądze na donation . Parking też darmowy. W środku jest sklepik gdzie można kupić pamiątki. Mała atrakcją dla dzieci jest symulator lotu. Warto poświęcić czas i odwiedzić. Otwarte w weekendy i bank holiday.

Well presented . As the name suggests it's about Cranwell. JP mk4 in courtyard and a 2 seat Vampire nacelle inside, plus a couple of engines. Enthusiastic guides. Just the right size museum for those with a casual aviation interest. Worth a visit.
