Fleet Air Arm Museum
The Fleet Air Arm Museum has the largest collection of Naval Aircraft anywhere in Europe. Situated alongside an operational Naval Air Station you may see fighter aircraft going through their rigorous training procedures (depending upon operational demands.) Inside the museum you can go on-board Concorde and be transported by a simulated helicopter flight to the 'flight deck' of the aircraft carrier HMS ARK ROYAL. A combination of simulator and real aircraft form part of a spectacular simulated launch sequence, unforgettable.
