Midland Air Museum
About This Museum
Just a short drive from Coventry's city centre, tucked away near Baginton Airport, you'll find this absolute gem for anyone who loves things that fly. It's not your typical hushed museum; it's a sprawling open-air park where history feels alive and you can get right up next to these magnificent machines. I spent ages just circling the colossal Avro Vulcan bomber, its giant delta wing casting a shadow over everything. The sheer variety is incredible, from early piston engines to the sleek, menacing lines of a Cold War MIG-21.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the iconic Vulcan bomber, a true giant of the sky, and get up close to the rare Sea Harrier jump jet. The MIG-21 looks fast even standing still, a real highlight for jet enthusiasts.
Visitor Information
It's primarily outdoors, so definitely pick a dry day if you can! Check their website for opening times as they can be seasonal.
Architecture & Building
Forget a traditional building; the main 'structure' is a collection of large hangars and open-air hardstandings where the aircraft are displayed.
