A fascinating museum with plenty of exhibits telling the story of signals in the British armed forces through to modern day, including the Special Operations Executive (SOE) in WWII. There are plenty of hands on exhibits to try, which really helps illustrate and explain how things work. A fine collection of medals is on display demonstrating the gallantry of members of the Royal Signals regiment over the years.

Refreshments are available in the museum at the NAAFI, which does really nice bacon rolls and tea (a NAAFI Special) at a good price. There are plenty of other menu options available, e.g. baked potatoes and sandwiches.

One thing it missed for me were Cold War radio equipment from the 1980's (Clansman); we have visited previously and these seem to have disappeared and been replaced by newer displays. I would have asked a museum guide but there did not appear to be anyone around to ask.

Overall a very good museum with a fine collection of military radios, telephones and signalling equipment.

Given that signals have always been at the cutting edge of the military, it was a pleasure to spend two hours in this excellent museum, tracing the progression of the Regiment, from flag signalling stations and heliographs, through the first use of wireless telegraphy in the Crimean campaign; telephones in the Boer War, through to the ultra-sophisticated secure wi-fi and telephony employed in Afghanistan and to date.

Both Lt. A A Milne, of Winnie the Pooh fame, and 2nd Lt. J R R Tolkien, were Signals officers in WW1. Both officers served in the Somme campaign of 1917, that subsequently influenced their writing. Milne's literary talents resulted in his transfer to Military Intelligence Branch MI7b – Propaganda.

There is plenty to digest and enjoy, with some excellent interactive exhibits and plenty for young people to enjoy and learn. Worth a break for a mug of NAAFI coffee and a snack in the cafeteria, plus there is an excellent shop. Overall, an excellent experience.

My partner & I visited today as both his dad & grandad were in the Royal Signals. We found the guys there so very helpful; in fact they offered to photocopy my partners' grandfather's regimental records for us. A fantastic museum & really, helpful staff. Dave, the curator was really great; a mine of information.
