This tour of the Berkshire Museum of Aviation in Woodley is organised by Bracknell & Wokingham Branch. It is part of the special events to celebrate the 50th birthday of Berkshire Family History Society. It is open to members and non-members alike. 

Berkshire’s dynamic contribution to aviation history is graphically recaptured at this compact but important museum. Run as a charitable trust, the museum is at the historic site of Woodley Airfield, once the centre of a thriving aircraft industry. Miles and Handley Page aircraft built at Woodley are being re-constructed and exhibited along with fascinating pictorial records and priceless archives. Large exhibits, many painstakingly restored, range from a Handley Page Herald, Miles Magister and Fairey Jet Gyrodyne, to the wind tunnel model of the Miles M.52 – which could have been the first ever supersonic aircraft. After the tour, tea and coffee will be available at £1.

Free parking.

TICKETS are £5 per person. This is payable upon arrival at the venue, therefore no payment will be collected when you book this event. 

Bookings close three days before the event. The meeting point will be communicated by email shortly before the visit.
