- “Lovely little museum dedicated to the airfield and 106 squadron. Run by volunteers who are both knowledgeable and friendly. Only on certain days, so check before going.”— Oliver Daniels
- “We really enjoyed our visit. The volunteers are so knowledgeable, there to talk you through the exhibits with enthusiasm. Really brings it to life. Dog friendly too, our dog was bemused by being in the Dakota plane.”— Sue C
- “Such a shame I didn't have longer to look around! The museum staff were excellent with their knowledge and presentation. Climbing into the Dakota and exploring the cockpit was great. Already recommended to multiple people. Will definitely return for another visit.”— Jim Mountney
