Absolutely amazing place to learn about how radar was used in WW2. The group of volunteers who run the museum are superb! They taught use so much and we did so much. We were able to sit in fighter jets, find out how messages were sent to and from pilots during the war. What happened on the ground during WW2 and how radar has developed since. Such a brilliant place to visit. (May 2024 - Primary School)
