    Fun, Fascinating, Accessible. A Detailed Review of Hanger 1

    This review is of Hanger 1 only. I have previously written a review of the RAF Museum and if you are wanting a more general overview please read that. The museum is on a large site and there are 6 large hangers (buildings) to explore. Hanger 1 is the first building on the site and where you enter the museum. I'm planning over time to cover all the hanger buildings in separate review. The R.A.F. Museum has an impressive collection of aircraft from 1914 to the present day. The museum site is very accessible and there is a Changing Places toilet.

    Fabulous, Very Accessible and a Changing Places Toilet

    The R.A.F. Museum has an impressive display of aircraft from 1914 to the present day. The planes are the original vehicles and are enormous, they are not scaled down models, and are really spectacular. The museum is on a large site and there are 6 large hangers (buildings) to explore. The site is very accessible, step free and there are plenty of accessible toilets including a Changing Places toilet. It's welcoming and family friendly. Plenty to see during your day out.
