Station briefing
About this museum
The Isle of Sheppey is where British aviation began — the Short brothers, the Royal Aero Club, the first British pilot's licences — and this £2-entry museum inside the prison estate at Eastchurch tells it with guided-tour devotion.
Sortie notes
Yes, it's surrounded by three prisons; yes, it's worth it; yes, £2.
“One of the best museums for history of the aviation.”— Sisira, visitor report
