I haven't and to be honest the only museum I've ever been to was in Florida :)

I have indeed been there. The Concorde is great to see although to get into the Concord Hanger alone was pretty expensive. They give you something that looks like a walkie talkie handset which you hold to your ear giving you information about the aircraft as you walk around it.

Outside there are a few interesting aircraft such as a DeHavilland comet and Avro Vulcan, which you can really appreaciate out in the open air.

I have been ther many times,it is a great spot and I have also been to the airshows there.
Show size is approx similar to Newtownards,but with a few RAF bases near by you are almost certain to get fast jets.
Superb place for the Red Arrows display as the entire area is almost flat.
Well worth a visit-airshow is usually mid\late July.
