Fleet Air Arm Museum

Explore the busiest military air station in Europe in scenic Somerset!

"The Fleet Air Arm Museum represents the Royal Navy In the Air. With four exhibition halls, over ninety aircraft and over 2 million records and 30 thousand artefacts it is Europe's largest naval aviation museum. In addition it houses the first British Concorde which you can go on board and view the cockpit. The Aircraft Carrier Experience is an award winning tourist attraction where museum meets theatre. You'll 'fly' by helicopter to the replica flight deck of the aircraft carrier HMS ARK ROYAL. On board the Ark Royal you'll see fighter aircraft and two enormous projection screens showing a Phantom strike fighter and a Buccaneer strike bomber taking off and landing. Once on board you will visit the ’Island’ control rooms and bridge and even see a nuclear bomb. The Museum is at Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton (also known as HMS Heron) in Somerset. With more flights in and out of RNAS Yeovilton than any other military air station in Europe, you are also likely to see aircraft going through their rigorous training procedures."
