Gatwick Aviation Museum

 

About Gatwick Aviation Museum

A modest-sized museum with a decent collection of ex-military aircraft and a lot of engines and ephemera on display.

A second room has a history of Gatwick Airport and some of the defunct airlines that used to fly out of it.

The main attraction for many will be the guided tour of the Avro Shackleton by a former flight navigator who tells you how they used to carry out cold-war surveillance and practice submarine attacks.
