Testimonies:

Year 5/6 had a fantastic day at the Army Flying Museum. We absolutely loved exploring the Museum and learning more about World War II (which is our topic). It was really cool to see all the planes, gliders and helicopters, and so many original artefacts from the past. We particularly enjoyed the Helicopters in Action Show which had flashing lights, and sound and wind effects.  We would love to go back one day and would recommend it to anyone!
