It is housed in a {{convert|12000|sqft|m2}} hangar-like former farm building in Brantridge Lane, between Handcross and Balcombe. The museum displays mainly World War II-related flying memorabilia and equipment which have been donated,[1][2] or which have been recovered and restored by volunteers.[3] HistoryThe museum was originally located at Redhill Aerodrome.[4] By 2011 it had relocated to Brantridge Lane.[5] In 2013, the museum hosted a fundraiser for the upkeep of the Bomber Command Memorial in nearby Green Park.[6][7] In 2015, volunteers restored a Bristol Beaufighter Mk1f which had crashed 75 years earlier.[8] Aircraft on displayVisitors to the museum can walk inside a complete fuselage from a Douglas C-47 Dakota which was used on D-Day[9] and later during the filming of the television series Band of Brothers. [10] There are some very rare aircraft from World War II and some of them are the only ones of their type in the UK. Piston engine aircraft
