Manx Aviation and Military Museum

<< Back to Isle of Man-Airport

Details:

To the south of the airport; located in old WW2 era buildings.

Museum


The museum is dedicated to the Manx men and women who served their Island in the cause of freedom; to those people of other nations who were brought to our shores by wartime service and to all those who, in war and peace, have lost their lives in the Isle of Man in aviation accidents.

 

The museum site is perfect because the site is not only on the present day airfield, but some of the buildings were constructed as part of the Fleet Air Arm station, Royal Naval Air Station Ronaldsway (HMS Urley), in 1944.


The museum has displays on both World War I and II and provides information of several US crash sites on the island that occurred in the Second World War.

 

See Isle of Man Sites, Eagle Squadron memorial and B-17 Crash Memorials for “Dottie Jean” and “Combined Operations” for more on these incidents.
