Dumfries & Galloway Aviation Museum
Based around the original control tower of the former RAF Dumfries, the Dumfries & Galloway Aviation Museum houses a fascinating collection of aircraft and memorabilia reaching back to the golden years of flight.
Whether you are an avid aviation buff, ex-services or simply intrigued by the wonders of flight, the museum offers a great day out for the whole family.
The control tower is literally is crammed to the roof with a collection of artefacts and memorabilia including a collection of flying clothing from both World Wars, rescue equipment and many items recovered by the museum's archaeology team from various crash sites. The museum's prize exhibit is a Supermarine Spitfire Mk II which was recovered from the waters of Loch Doon.
Outside in the garden is a picnic area, whilst indoors a range of souvenirs are available from the gift shop. Refreshments can be purchased from the snack bar.
The museum is staffed and maintained entirely by volunteers who are dedicated to the cause of preserving aviation heritage for future generations. If you feel you could contribute to these activities please contact the museum.
