Dumfries & Galloway Aviation Museum

The restored Control Tower of the former WWII airfield at Dumfries is the centrepiece of the Museum and is now a listed building. 

The Museum is run by volunteers and houses a large and ever expanding aircraft collection, aero engines and a very impressive display of artefacts and personal histories relating to aviation, past and present.  Both civil and military are represented.  There is also a small, but ever expanding collection of memorabilia honouring airborne forces; a new art exhibition of work by the Guild of Aviation Artists and a mock-up of a WWII living room. 

In addition, oral history and aviation footage will be running in the cinema and you can complete your visit with a purchase from the souvenir shop.
The Volunteers are dedicated to the Museum and its future and in order to protect the building there is an ongoing fundraising campaign to enable them to purchase the site of the Museum.  Donations to this cause will be gratefully received.
