About

The National Museum of Flight, situated on the historic RAF East Fortune airfield in East Fortune, East Lothian, is Scotland’s leading aviation museum. Visitors embark on a guided journey through four themed hangars, beginning with the Civil Aviation Hangar that showcases iconic jetliners, followed by the Military Aviation Hall filled with Spitfires and fighter jets. The centerpiece is the Concorde Experience, offering a walk‑through of the world’s only supersonic passenger aircraft, complete with auditory guides. Hands‑on galleries such as ‘Fantastic Flight’ let families experiment with flight physics, while the museum’s Conservation Hangar offers free talks on restoration work. With free entry for members, timed tickets available online, and a range of café and gift shop offerings, the museum is a must‑visit destination for aviation enthusiasts, families, and school groups alike.
