Solway Aviation Museum

The Solway Aviation Museum, on the same site as Carlisle Airport, has an interesting collection of aircraft, aviation artefacts and displays reflecting Britain's contribution to aircraft design since the 1930s.

The exhibits include a DeHavilland Vampire, Sikorsky Helicopter and an English Electric Canberra. You can sit in the cockpit of an impressive Avro Vulcan bomber, discover Britain's part in the space race with the Blue Streak rocket or take a nostalgic journey back to wartime Cumberland and the men and women who served in the RAF during the Second World War.
