Dumfries & Galloway Aviation Museum
Based around the original control tower of the former RAF Dumfries, the Dumfries & Galloway Aviation Museum is a fascinating collection of aircraft and memorabilia reaching back to the golden years of flight.
The Museum's prize exhibit is a Supermarine Spitfire Mk II which was recovered from the waters of Loch Doon and is at present undergoing restoration. Whether you are an avid 'Area Buff', ex-services or looking to while away a few hours the Museum has something of interest for everyone.
Weather needn't be a problem as the control tower is home to a collection of artefacts and memorabilia and literally is crammed to the roof. Accumulated from many sources, the collection displays flying clothing from both World Wars, rescue equipment and many items recovered by the Museum's archaeology team from various crash sites.
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 from the membership of the Dumfries & Galloway Aviation Museum. They are dedicated to the cause of preserving aviation heritage for future generations.
Overall a great experience and a great day out for all the family regardless of age. If you feel you could contribute to these activities please ask for details in our shop.
