Overview

The Manx Aviation and Military Museum is dedicated to the memory of those people who served in the military from the Island and further afield.

It commemorates the people that gave their lives serving in the forces and those that have died as a result of more than 200 flying accidents in and around the Isle of Man.

Step inside and you’ll discover the story of the Manx Regiment which became the British Army’s best anti aircraft unit in World War II.

A host of memorabilia is displayed in three exhibition rooms – representing military, civil and wartime aviation - which can be browsed at your leisure.

You’ll find a varied range of artefacts including a Vickers machine gun and tripod, a Bren gun, mannequins in military uniform, photographs and even parts from aircraft that have crashed and been recovered.
