Disabled Access Information Provided by The Helicopter Museum

Disabled Access at The Helicopter Museum

The entire museum is on ground level with full wheelchair access to all exhibits. The museum hosts special Open Cockpit days on select dates, and can, in addition to the helicopter we usually give full access to, open the doors of an Agusta 109 cockpit, which is accessible at ground level. This helicopter is perfect for those in wheelchairs as they can go right up to the doors (front and back) and still be shown all the controls and how the helicopter would take off and land, with a great view of inside. The Museum also caters for disabled flights where trained ground crew assist passengers up into the aircraft for a seven minute flight around the local coastline. Braille information upon request and special 'Touch and Feel' tours for the visually impaired can be pre-booked at no additional cost.
