Fighter World was better than I expected. In it you can sit in plane cockpits and take loads of photos. It is great because you can see and touch all the controls. Not just good for kids but for adults as well. Strongly recommended!

Had an awesome experience learning about the planes and hearing real stories from Jack (they have ex pilots who volunteer here!!!) Also I was lucky to spot jet fighters taking off and landing from the observation deck . Would def recommend to anyone and would strongly suggest chatting to the volunteers to learn from them :) Thanks again Jack for making this an amazing visit .
