Solent Sky Museum
The Solent Sky Museum is a confused sort of place. It used to be called the Southampton Hall of Aviation and
its website address is
www.spitfireonline.co.uk.
Its main exhibit used to be called a Sunderland Flying Boat but is now called a Short Sandringham IV VH-BRC
- which only anoracks will know is the airliner conversion of the Sunderland.
From outside, the museum looks like a run down Staples warehouse. But it is worth a visit: the history of the Spitfire is fascinating and the staff are excellent. There are plans to move the museum to a new wow-factor waterfront location by 2015. |map| |next attraction|
