E-Mail me!

The list below shows the contents of the various aircraft museums in Hampshire and Dorset.

Note that the situation regarding museum aircraft is somewhat fluid with aircraft being loaned or swapped with other museums frequently.Thus the lists may change.In addition ,not all aircraft are always on show,and in the case of Bournemouth ,many of the listed aircraft are flyable ,and are often away during the display season

I have included a couple of non-museum items for completeness.There are also within the counties of Hampshire and Dorset ,several locations where veteran or vintage aircraft are stored.Most of these locations are Private and thus outside the remit of this site.

Finally,as always,if you have any additions or corrections to this listing,please CONTACT ME
