Wow, I am a plane enthusiast, but this is at a different level. My son and I went and had a great time. One of the team, Ian Peat showed us around and his enthusiasm was superb. We took the chance to have a light lunch too, that was really good.

Me and my daughter age 12 visited the museum for the first time as we live close by and super excited to visit. We were not disappointed with our visit the staff were very informative and extremely helpful throughout the visit. It might come across as being on the small size however it really packs a punch on vast amount of information available on the history of the site and company Its fascinating the contribution this site has to so many aviation wonders over the years and shaping the world we live in The fact the lancaster bomber was built here and vulcan and many more great aircraft. We also got to sit and listen to a presentation with a former vulcan pilot which was truly amazing. I can't wait to go back and join as a member and continue to support this great museum and staff.

A Grand Day Out. Brought my elderly dad - the volunteers clearly realised they had two bona fide aeroplane geeks on their hands and shared in-depth information during our Lancaster cockpit visit (well worth the asking price!) then gave dad the virtual bombing raid over Berlin headset (no charge, 13 Minutes). Best of all was the Vulcan talk - well sustained, lots of information delivered by a former pilot who noticed dad's hearing aids and made sure dad could see his mouth at all times if he was speaking. I drove a very content and included dad home. Many, many thanks to all concerned.

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit here and particularly the personal tour of the Vulcan cockpit. Although not a large museum, there is plenty to occupy your time, from exhibits to information.There was no shortage of volunteers and all were very helpful. Would love to see the complete Vulcan, along with the Nimrod and VC 10 cockpits under cover in the future, as they will surely perish over time if not protected. The coffee shop was also very good and they kindly assured me that they would stay open for me after my personal tour. Well worth a visit and highly recommended.

We visited today 2 adults, girls aged 13 and boy 12. When we got home my son told his dad and said the people working£ there were so enthusiastic and he learnt so much. I agree completely the visit was brought to life by the staff working there. So knowledgeable kind and patient with our preteens. Thankyou for keeping this story alive x

Very interesting visit, only 5 minutes away from home and this was our first visit. We had a 10 year old with us who did get a little bored, paid the extra for the 3 of us to go in 2 of the cockpits. Again really interesting but especially in the Vulcan only 1 of the party got to sit in the pilots seat, the others didn’t get a proper view of it. I appreciate it’s a small space but perhaps they could rethink this. Maybe £2 extra each is a bit much after paying £9 to get in. As others have said it’s quite small but lots of model planes and lots of information on the Lancaster. Not somewhere you would return to quickly but I wouldn’t stop anyone visiting but would inform them that it’s limited. Loved the Vulcan outside as we had very happy memories of the Air shows there over the years. Everything comes down to cost these days and perhaps the £30 plus buying a gift for the little one maybe too much for a lot of people.

A small museum with a comprehensive collection of Avro related exhibits including cockpit replicas of the Lancaster bomber and Nimrod reconnaissance aircraft, engines, and anti-submarine equipment. There are several videos and a virtual reality Lancaster bombing raid experience. A small cafe offers hot and cold drinks and snacks. The staff many of whome are ex Avro emploees are exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable and eager to share their knowledge with visitors.

A fascinating wide ranging display of info and artefacts relating to Avro and successor companies at Woodford airfield. Severely let down by chaotic and disorganised system of booking to access some of the exhibits - flight decks etc. Programme was running late and that was ok but on our return at the revised booked time we found another delay then another. Get your act together guys and gals!

This is a little difficult to find as it is buried in a new housing estate which is signposted from the back of the Aviator Pub. Although it is run by volunteers it certainly isn't an amateur set up with lots of exhibits. There are four cockpits which you can visit with a 20 minute talk. It's an extra 2 quid for each cockpit which I thought was good value for money. They are hoping to expand when they raise the huge sums needed and it's good to know that the fees you pay are put back in museum. Many of the volunteers had a connection with the aerodrome and have a wealth of knowledge which they are more than happy to share. Will certainly be going back

This excellent heritage centre on the site of the old Woodford aerodrome is a worthy and moving tribute to an iconic British manufacturer, its staff and the aircrews who flew and often fought in their innovative aircraft. For a smallish facility, there's absolutely loads to see and learn about with the added bonus of cockpit tours if desired. The staff and tour guides are passionate about their museum and that shines through when talking to them. Loved the whole experience!
