Located in the heart of Moreton-in-Marsh in the Cotswolds, the Wellington Aviation Museum is a small but powerful tribute to the men and women of the Royal Air Force during World War II. Housed in a former airfield building, the museum focuses on the story of RAF Moreton-in-Marsh, once a major training base for Wellington Bomber crews.
Visitors can explore a compelling collection of wartime memorabilia, including uniforms, logbooks, photographs, maps, medals, and personal artefacts that tell the real-life stories of those who served. The museum offers a deeply human and accessible perspective on aviation history, ideal for both enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
Run by passionate volunteers, the museum is open seasonally and offers a warm, personal welcome. It’s a must-visit for history buffs, aviation fans, and anyone exploring the Cotswolds who wants to connect with the area’s important wartime past.
