Lashenden Air Museum is a definite must for aviation fanatics, but probably of limited interest to everyone else. Attached to the aerodrome at Headcorn, there are a range of aircraft, aircraft bits and flying uniforms, along with some fascinating descriptions of their history. The museum is quite small and lacks the interactive displays and special effects which larger ones offer. It is run by volunteers, who were obviously passionate and knowledgeable about their subject. The opening times are variable, depending on the season and staffing, so it’s a good idea to ring in advance to avoid disappointment. - Chris
   
You can almost smell the aviation fuel in the air at Lashenden Air Warfare Museum at Headcorn. It is as if the airmen who risked their lives flying from the airbase during World War Two are still there, but in ghostly form. Hundreds of relics from the war are on display in three large buildings maintained by a group of volunteers who open the museum every weekend and on bank holidays during the summer. A shop sells a variety of goods and occasional hanger tours to see flying wartime aircraft can be pre-arranged. An excellent free family friendly attraction. - Patrick Boniface
