Museum of Berkshire Aviation and its collection

Museum of Berkshire Aviation
Source

Berkshire's dynamic contribution to aviation history is graphically captured. Run as a charitable trust, the museum is at the site of Woodley airfield near Reading - once the centre of a thriving aircraft industry. Miles and Handley Page aircraft built at Woodley have been reconstructed, along with a fascinating pictorial record and priceless archives. Large exhibits include the Handley Page Herald, Miles Magister, Fairey Gannet and Fairey Gyrodyne. There is also a wind tunnel model of the Miles M.52 - what could have been the first ever supersonic aircraft.
