National Museum of Flight

Housed within the original buildings of RAF East Fortune, a remarkably preserved World War II airfield, the museum explores the history of flight alongside the very site that played a part in it.

Aviation history

Walk around the huge Military and Civil Aviation Hangars and learn about propeller planes, gliders and jets. Get up close to iconic aircraft such as a Second World War Spitfire or a Hawk from the Red Arrows aerial display team.

Boarding pass for Concorde

The National Museum of Flight is home to Scotland's only Concorde, one of only a handful preserved in the world. The ‘Concorde Experience’ allows visitors to step inside the iconic supersonic airliner and experience the luxurious comfort of transatlantic flight at twice the speed of sound.

Interactive exhibits

Could you land an aeroplane? Hands-on exhibits over three galleries bring the science of flight to life. Find out how aeroplanes fly, how they are built and the skills needed to be a pilot.

Fortunes of War gallery

Immerse yourself in wartime history in the museum's special exhibition. Personal accounts, photographs and artefacts shed light on the experiences of those who served at RAF East Fortune.
