The Avro Heritage Museum is situated on the site of the old Woodford Airfield. The current museum site was donated by BAE Systems when the airfield and Aircraft assembly plant was closed down. The airfield fire station building has been converted into a state of the art museum.

The museum houses Avro Heritage Trust’s extensive catalogue of aviation history documents and exhibits including the Vulcan bomber and education centre.

*The Avro Shackleton AEW.2, Avro 707C, Avro 748 Series 2A (cockpit), Avro Anson C.19 (frame) are not on display but stored elsewhere.

The aviationmuseum.eu team visited the Avro Heritage Museum this summer (2022). We were accompanied by one of the volunteers, who enthusiastically told us about the history of the Avro factory. What struck us most was the time line which listed the many aircraft types produced during that period.

Each Avro type is clearly discussed on the many boards along the wall. All the cockpits and models look good and well cared for.

This museum is well worth a visit.
