A famous Museum situated at the landmark Farnborough airport. The museum houses vintage aircraft and many displays regarding the development of flight and aircraft. There is a large gift shop on site, enough to please any aviation fan, or military history devotee.

What a great museum! What stands out is the expertise of the volunteers. They are so knowledgeable about aerospace, some having worked in the industry. The simulators (three were in operation, Harrier, Lightning and Concorde) were great fun, although they are so hard to fly without the nearby instructor. We also learnt a lot about Samuel Franklin Cody, who pretended to be the son of Buffalo Bill Cody and was for real one of the pioneers of flight in the UK. The commercial airline cockpit was great too. We even got treated to documentary films while we were eating our cake. Want to know how a bypass engine works, go to this museum.

Absolutely superb volunteers whose enthusiasm is infectious. We went today with our two and five year old, a bit unsure if they’d find it interesting, but the volunteers really engaged with the children, answered questions and brought it to life. Our son especially enjoyed the spitfire simulator and looking inside the cockpit. We will be visiting again - thank you so much!

Amazing small museum, run by volunteers, most ex-avaiators full of brilliant stories. Caters for all, from kids to retirees - well worth a visit. Spotlessly clean, with an eye for detail. 3 x flight sims to try. Free, so please make sure you donate to support this amazing place !

This is a great museum for adults and children alike. It's not a large site but there's certainly plenty in it. Outside there's a very decent-sized array of planes and helicopters. Inside is a wealth of technology from a wide range of points in the history of aviation engineering. There's also three flight simulators on PCs, varying from simple for small children to a larger unit in a cockpit. I have been taking my children to FAST since they were 4 and they enjoy it just as much now they're 13 and 17. If the weather allowed and staff were available, they've sat in the cockpit of a Harrier jump-jet and two helicopters. Always a pleasure to visit, look and learn.

Excellent museum, lots of aviation and local history and artefacts that are well laid out and displayed. Volunteers are exceptional - their knowledge and willingness to help are amazing. Flight simulator was a great hit. Small shop is excellent and well stocked. Outside picnic benches overlooking Farnborough airport - loved watching the planes come I ! Small basic cafe which is well priced.
