As a private pilot I have a keen interest in flying and aeroplanes.
The biggest thrill for me was the Sunderland Flying boat and the walk through it was an absolute delight.
It took a full day to fully explore the museum and we would definately be returning in the future.

Owner description:
If you’re searching for something different why not take off to Colindale and navigate your way through the history of aviation from the earliest balloon flight to the latest Eurofighter? This world-class collection of over 100 aircraft, aviation and wartime memorabilia offers a fun day out for all the family. Don’t forget to visit our awe inspiring sound and light show that takes you back in time to the Battle of Britain. Better yet admission to the museum is free of charge. If you're visiting us using London Underground, please take the Edgware Branch of the Northern Line to Colindale. As you leave the station there is a bus stop directly outside the entrance. From here, the 303 Service will drop you off directly outside our Main Gates. This bus runs every 8 to 12 minutes. The Museum is open daily from 10am to 6pm and this May not only will we be displaying our latest exhibition 'Athletes and Olympians : Sport in the RAF' but we will be unveiling to the public on 22nd our newest art exhibition ' Fresh Air' showcasing the work of former Artist in Residence to the Red Arrows, David Bent.

One of the great museums which houses the past history of RAF aircraft, RAF Hendon is staffed by knowledgeable staff always willing to help and answer questions. A great day out for all ages.

Visited the RAF museum 4 times. It is definitely the best air museum I've ever seen. If you are a fan, it may take you more than one visit to explore the large quantity and quality of aircrafts displayed. The museum is very close to the tube station at Hendon (Northern line).

This is a hidden gem in North London and is diffenately worth the trip on the Northern Line to Stanmore. The display of aircraft and exhibition dedicated to WWII is a good way to spend a wet / damp afternoon. Refreshments are good too with parking on site, should you arrive by car - it has good road links to...

My husband is an airplane nut, so this was a must-see on our visit. It was incredible! Plan a full day here and bring your most comfortable walking shoes!

Fabulous displays of bombers, fighters, seaplanes, everything, both Allied and Axis. They have some of the last of the great WWI and WWII aircraft in existence.
