boscombe down aviation collection印象

We went here today and it was brilliant we took our 3 children who really enjoyed themselves, and for £23 it was a bargain. Most museums are a nightmare with kids but this one lets your children climb on the aircrafts, press buttons and generally run about. The guides were really fab with the children too, telling them about the planes and showing them what to do. The place is small so you would think that you wouldn't be there for long but it kept our lot entertained for a good hour and a half and would have stayed longer if they could have. Well worth a visit, a real gem!

A great place for anyone to visit. We had a lots of fun and tried to pilot a plane in a training module. Different kind of planes are open and you can try to climb in and explore. Guides around the place are very helpful and show you which button is doing what. Although most of the planes are out of order, some of them are still in use, and some of them are just making some fun noises for children. And so we liked it :)

This was the perfect place to visit with a slightly geeky husband and son (8) because they were allowed to clamber in and out of numerous aircraft cockpits and some even had sound effects to make it feel more real. The staff were fantastically friendly and helpful and extremely knowledgable. Lots of written info and photo opportunities for husband and general aeroplane playtime for a keen 8 year old, all adds up to 'happy mum'! All I was missing was coffee and a cake.....and I should have worn something warmer cos aircraft hangars in January are COLD! We will definitely visit again and will try to bring Grandpa along too -he'll love it!

Loved this place! Hangars full of real planes (bombers, fighter jets, passenger planes) that you can actually climb into and sit in. Have a play with all the controls and take as long as you like. Very informative guides are around to explain if you need or want more information. This is what a museum should be. I hate flying, so this was by far my favourite experience involving planes. 5 year old daughter was enthralled throughout. Why aren't more museums like this? Beats the hanging planes in the Science Museum any day.The site sits next to a live runway where microlights and small planes take off and land all the time, so you can watch this afterwards too.

Stopped by with some friends and children. Behind a slightly unpromising entrance lies a wonderful collection of aircraft and memorabilia. What set this apart was the fact the boys were encouraged to try on flying suits and helmets and hop in and out of the various cockpits - what 12 year old buy doesn't want to know how to start a Harrier?….. The switches work and the HUD lit up they were enthralled.The volunteer staff were knowledgeable, interested and friendly.

BDAC at the Old Sarum Airfield is a definite worth if you enjoy aviation history. There are not many displays but don't get deceived by that. The ones that are in display are quite a treat for old and young alike and the volunteers are very helpful and at the same time leave you to see for yourselves what the controls and switches do without being nosy. There is also a skydive option nearby which we plan to visit during Summer. More signboards near the Beehive roundabout pointing to the exact location will be welcome however for folks taking a bus.

It was a day trip for work, taking a group of disabled clients. It was a cold day but the staffs warm welcome soon helped us forget about the weather outside. Our guide had been in the RAF for along time so his knowledge was second to none. For each plane he allowed and helped the clients into the pilots seat. He then explained in detail about the plane, including personal stories about flying them.The team were happy to go at our pace and didn't even mind that we had a break for lunch in the middle of the tour. They were very happy to answer any questions we had and had an almost encyclopedic knowledge of the planes and helicopters.The whole team could not do enough for the guys, they made them feel total at ease. Not only this but you are encouraged to have a go on the controls, it's a very hands on museum the likes of which I have never seen.I cannot recommend this place enough! Sitting in a jump jet or bomber has been one of the best experiances of a museum ever!

If you are in the area and have an opportunity to visit this collection then don't hesitate, especially if you are an aviation enthusiast. Even if you are not (like some members of my family) everyone had a great visit. I was in email contact with Norm for a few months prior to our trip and he had arranged to open just for us!!! How amazing is that???? We spent 2+ hours being shown around the Collection and kids and adults alike were able to climb up and have a look inside many of the planes on site. The work that is being done at Boscombe by incredibly dedicated volunteers is huge and our guide, Norm, was very passionate with a great sense of humor which we all really enjoyed. This was a highlight of our time in Salisbury and we wouldn't have missed this opportunity for the world. Thank you Norm!! PS Do dress warmly.

I went with my wife and 12 year old son and we had a great time. The staff have a great knowledge of the planes and you get to sit in the cock pit of most of the planes on display!!

Having visited the collection, last week, and having come from Milton Keynes, We found the experience very enjoyable, a very warm welcome from the team. The Flight Simulator experience was very real, and allowing us in some other flight cockpit, which we couldn't get it any where else.This place has Choppers and Rolls Royce Engines as well.Special Thanks to Peter Bryant for his knowledge and the love towards aircraft's. Would love to visit again and would recommend a visit .
