A treasure store of some of British and foreign aviation gems, the museum was founded by local enthusiasts in 1967; they managed to gather a number of items and aircraft and leased space on Coventry airport. By 1979 the museum achieved a Charitable Trust with Educational Charity status, and in 2008 was awarded Nationally Accredited Museum status. Avro Vulcan B2 XL 360 stands proudly beside the main building, which houses the Sir Frank Whittle Jet Heritage Centre. Both are Coventry linked - Sir Frank being born there and the Vulcan is 'City of Coventry'.
