Operating at Grimes Airfield, this museum maintains the atmosphere of a working interwar airfield while presenting antique aeroplanes, barnstorming equipment and restoration shops. The collection combines early training and sporting aircraft with reproductions of First World War designs.

The collection emphasizes barnstorming, interwar civil aviation, early biplanes, World War I reproductions and preservation of flyable antiques. The museum normally offers seasonal weekend visiting, and many airworthy aircraft travel for flying events. Several First World War machines are explicitly replicas. The published collection distinguishes flying, stored and awaiting-restoration entries.

Entries below are source-backed selections, not necessarily the complete collection. A museum may have an aircraft on loan, under restoration, stored away from public areas, or temporarily absent for a flying event. Where display status is unknown, it is not a promise that the aircraft can be seen on a visit. Check current admission arrangements and specific aircraft access with the institution before traveling.
