| Fleet Air Arm Museum | The official web site for the Fleet Air Arm Museum |
| Imperial War Museum | The official web site for the Imperial War Museum. Well worth a visit if you are in London. You will need at least a whole day if you want to see all of it. |
| Royal Air Force Museum | As a former RAF man I have to recommend this site. Loads of great information about the museum and future events being held. |

| Tangmere Military Aviation Museum | A fantastic museum on the site of the old RAF fighter station RAF Tangmere. If you are ever in the Chichester area I can highly recommend a visit. I spent over 3 hours there in April and still probably needed another 2 hours to see everything properly. Very friendly former RAF staff help run the museum and my wife and I, who are both former RAF, had a very pleasant chat with them about old times. |
