Avro Heritage Museum

Fantastic museum with very friendly staff and some great exhibits. Would definitely recommend the cockpit tours

This is a lovely little museum. With lots of interesting displays charting the history of flight and is arranged in date order. We also did a cockpit tour which was an amazing extra embellishment to our visit. There are four different cockpit options depending on your period of interest. For all aircraft fans a wonderful day out.

Interesting place, quite small only took less than an hour to look around. If your interested in aviation history it's worth a visit. Did check out any of the experiences but worth the money, and it helps to keep it open. Cafe looked nice but I'd only just eaten.

Fantastic day out! Loved it! The staff are so knowledge, i recommend booking the cockpit tours/talks! I'll definitely be going back again, luckily it's not that far away as well

Went for a Wings and Wheels Fair. A huge advantage was that the weather was beautiful, but all credit to the dedicated volunteers, they put on a brilliant day. There is the museum, which is always there, and well worth a look around,as well as the restored Vulcan, but in addition, they had a Spitfire, vintage car display, craft stalls and food outlets, as well as a band and a 'war time 'singer-all of which were great. There were 3 fly bys,one of which was a Lancaster bomber,and loads to keep the children occupied. For a £9 entrance fee,it was well worth it, as we got there at 10 and left at 4.30. Would definitely go again!

What a fantastic museum absolutely amazing well worth a visit very family friendly with interactive cockpits ect . A nice cafe & information that will blow your mind . If your a fan of aircraft especially the arrow rang Lancaster bomber & vulcan probably the most famous. Then this is a must see .

Amazing staff. All lovely. Brian very informative. Alex showed us the flight simulator and Alastair gave us a tour of the Lancaster bomber (only £2 extra). I actually really enjoyed it!!

This wonderful museum is on the site of the former Woodford Aerodrome. A V Roe established the site in 1924 for the production of his aircraft. It became particularly important during WWII, notably for Lancaster bombers. Unfortunately it closed in 2011 but with the enormous efforts of a dedicated band of enthusiastic volunteers the memories live on. The beautiful Vulcan was also built here and there is a complete original example on display along with a replica 1912 Avro Type F, a 1909 Triplane and a Lancaster cockpit. The history of the site, the planes built there and those who were part of Avro are superbly displayed. I've been several times as its so interesting. A bonus recently was flypasts by three different aircraft, including a Lancaster, and displays of classic vehicles during a Wings and Wheels weekend.
