About this museum
Doncaster's South Yorkshire Aircraft Museum sprawls across the old RAF Doncaster site: dozens of airframes and helicopters, strong Falklands material, and a climb-in cockpit culture at £8.50.
Listed inventory: 27 airframes.
Buildings are unheated — dress for a 1940s hangar because that's what it is.
