    I brought my 11 year old son here. The exhibition is great. Lots of historical exhibits and two hangars full of aircraft. There is a gazelle heli which has a flight simulator in it. I asked if my son could try it but there was nobody to operate it. I think some more interactive exhibits would be great, such as a helicopter which can be sat in and 'operated'. Some bilingual signage would be useful too. Due to the lack of interactive displays my son wasn't too interested in this museum and as a result I had to hurry along which was a pity. This museum is well presented and very impressive.

    Came here for an open day and really enjoyed seeing the collection. As well as the large collection of helicopters there are a few fixed wing army aircraft. A good selection.

    Really great place to visit. A lot of information to go through, but unfortunately all in French. There was a wonderful member of staff who tried his best to explain everything to us in English...
