How to Find The Museum
 The history of those who fought as part of Airborne Forces is realistically portrayed in their Museum in Aldershot. The Museum was officially opened in March 1969 by Field Marshall Montgomery. It traces the history of British Airborne Forces since their beginning in 1940 to the present day. With the help of weapons, equipment, dioramas and briefing models we tell the story of the many actions in which members of the Parachute Regiment and other Airborne soldiers took part; the early raids, D-Day, Arnhem, Rhine Crossing and the post-war campaigns such as the Falklands. The museum organises 3 lectures a year, usually related to Airborne topics. If you would like to be on our mailing list please contact the Museum. The Museum is located in Browning Barracks, Aldershot just off the A325 Farnborough – Farnham Road and easily recognised by the Dakota aeroplane in front of it.
