Location details:

The Fleet Air Arm Museum houses the largest collection of Naval aircraft anywhere in Europe and it includes some ninety aircraft, fourteen of which cannot be seen anywhere else in the world. Situated alongside Europe's largest Naval Air Station you are likely to see Naval aircraft going through their rigorous training procedures (dependent upon operational demands). Inside the museum you will have the opportunity of going on-board the first British built Concorde and being 'transported' by a simulated Wessex helicopter flight to the replica flight deck of the aircraft carrier HMS ARK ROYAL. On board the replica flight deck of the Ark Royal there are ten genuine aircraft and two enormous projection screens showing a Phantom strike fighter taking off and a Buccaneer fighter-bomber landing. You will be in the heart of the action as powerful jet fighters take off and land around you. You will experience the thrills and sounds of a working flight deck, and even see a nuclear bomb. Inside the Ark Royal is a series of faithfully reconstructed cabins and operational areas from the Bridge to the Goofers Deck, which looks down onto the flight deck below.
