About this museum
Also known as / searched as: National Museum of Flight · Museum of Flight East Fortune · East Fortune Airfield · Concorde Scotland · Scotland Concorde · Museum of Flight Scotland
Scotland's national aviation collection at East Fortune, a preserved WWI and WWII airfield in East Lothian farmland — and the very field from which the airship R34 departed in July 1919 to make the first east-to-west Atlantic crossing. The hangars are period pieces themselves; the interpretation is world-class Museums-of-Scotland stuff; and the Concorde hangar is built like a shrine, because it is one.
Listed inventory: 47 airframes.
- Concorde G-BOAA — flew BA’s first supersonic service
- Vulcan B.2A XM597, Black Buck raider
- Me 163 Komet rocket fighter
- Percy Pilcher’s 1896 Hawk glider
- Red Arrows Hawk XX308
Concorde G-BOAA, which flew British Airways' first commercial supersonic service in 1976 and arrived here by barge and giant road-crawl in 2004. The military hangar counters with a Vulcan and a Blue Streak missile.
Visitors planning two hours report staying four. Outside exhibits are weathering — reviewers notice — but the boarding-a-Concorde experience is described, accurately, as a childhood dream serviced.
- “great place with plenty to see and lots of interesting things for the kids. Particularly loved seeing Concorde and the Avro Vulcan.”— greg2647
