What BOURNEMOUTH AVIATION CHARITABLE FOUNDATION does

The Bournemouth Aviation Museum is now situated opposite the airport in the grounds of Adventure Wonderland .The museum is open every day during the summer 10am till 5pm and at weekends in the winter from 10am until 4pm. The museum will only be closed during this time due to adverse weather or shortage of volunteers. We always need more volunteers to keep the museum open.
