Solent Sky

A rich and educational museum of aviation. Although the size of the museum is not large, there are many exhibits and posters with information inside. Mechanics will be especially interested. There is also an exhibit where you can sit in the role of a pilot at the wheel of a fighter jet. And there is also an old, double-decker, charter plane, where you can also go inside

Fantastic place, worth £12 adult entrance fee. Did not realise I was there for two hours. Would go again. I don’t usually give 5/5 ratings, here it’s an exception. Get a tour of plane of the cockpit . Personal are very knowledgeable

This is a small but very high quality museum covering both the aircraft built in the area, and police fire and auxiliaries active during the second world war. An area of focus is seaplanes. They have a great collection of historically significant seaplanes.

Not much to look at from the outside, but once you are inside it's a real treasure trove of aviation history. Great place to go with or without the family. Interactive for all and knowledgeable volunteers. One of the best attractions was sitting inside an old WW1 cockpit.

Simply amazing. So much information and aircraft of great historical value, significance and importance on display, with rich connections to Southampton, birthplace of the Supermarine Spitfire!. A couple of hours went in a blink of an eye. A great place to top up your aviation knowledge or even general knowledge for that matter. Well worth the admission fee. Highly recommended. Ample paid parking available on the main road parallel with the museum.
