Aviation Museum
Based in the control tower of R.A.F Tinwald Downs the museum has an extensive indoor display of memorabilia, which strives to preserve aviation heritage, much, of which has come with various recovery activities. During the Second World War, aerial navigation was taught at Dumfries also at Wigtown and nearby Annan was a fighter-training unit. R.A.F Dumfries doubled as an important maintenance unit and aircraft storage unit. The museum is run by the Dumfries and Galloway Aviation group and is the only private aviation museum in Scotland; the museum had doubled in size by March 1996 making room for a new shop display area, picnic area etc. The control tower has been re-roofed, the pathways given metalled surfaces and much other work has been done.
Opening Times July and August we are open every day except Mon & Tue, 11am to 4pm. Most winter Sundays also, weather and staff permitting.
Admission Admission: Adult: £2.00, Children: £1.00
