What a really great museum. Loads of historic military aircraft on display with good facilities. Handy for Cosford rail station which is only a 10 minute walk. Well worth a day out and it's free.

If you like planes this museum should be high on the list. Admission is free. Pay and display parking. There are several large hangers displaying over 100 of aircrafts. You can easily spend a whole day here.

Absolutely fantastic day out - kept our 5 year old absorbed for 4 hours! Loads to see and do and all for free. Excellent collection of aircraft displayed superbly (the Vulcan in the Cold War hangar was just amazing).
